The 5th Annual Super Fair of Centre County Resources will take place Saturday, March 23, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Nittany Mall in State College.

The event will have 100 registered local organizations and businesses with information and activities for all ages, that highlight the importance of community partnerships and services.

Information will be available on all aspects of community care and support programs, as well as services the community provides relating to legal issues, transportation, housing, healthcare, finances, and more.

Health screenings, educational presentations, and children’s activities will round out the day.

From birth to aging, from in-home services to residential and living facilities, community non-profit agencies, medical agencies, basic needs, and other community connections, we believe everyone will find something to learn about and walk away with knowledge about the help this county can provide as well as finding out how community members can help.
