"Engage community; provide access; inspire life-long learning."
Walk For Wellness will be free to attend, and will be a unique event that combines a health fair and walk-athon.
Social service and community health agencies will be setting up tables to share literature and speak with the public. Also, local yoga and fitness coaches will be providing exercise demonstrations on the football field, and of course, the track will be open for walking for those who want to get some exercise.
Kids are welcome to attend, and will have a variety of activities of their own. Facepainting, games, and an interactive puppet show by the author of “Corey Conquers COVID” will keep the young ones busy.
To drive the community health message home, nurses will be on hand to provide vaccinations and booster shots for those who are eligible. As an added incentive, the Cumberland County Library will be handing out $25 gift cards to Bottino’s ShopRite for every family member who gets vaccinated.
Finally, every family in attendance will receive a tote bag filled with COVID test kits, and personal health and hygiene supplies. The entire community is welcome to join in this family-friendly celebration of exercise and mental wellness!
