The Back 2 School Health and Resource Fair was a combined effort by Christian County YMCA, Taylorville Memorial Hospital, Operation Loaded Book Bag, and Dinners, Seasoned with Love to assist families to “get ready” for school. Over 20 vendors including HSHS, SIU, Central Counties Clinic, Springfield Clinic, and Taylorville Vision Care were present to provide information regarding required physicals. Parents and children attending received a free meal (cookout by Dinners, Seasoned with Love) and there were lots of activities for children such as face painting, inflatable games, and 90 backpacks were distributed with school supplies. Family Guidance also provided 47 Narcan kits. CCPC had a booth providing materials for parents/guardians on how to talk to your child about vaping, alcohol/tobacco/.other drugs, cyber bullying, internet safety and other pertinent topics.
