Nutrition, health and housing security will once more be the focus of a special Burlington County resource fair returning to the Burlington County Library tomorrow.

The 5th Annual Bring Health Home Resource Fair will be held Friday, April 17, from 1 PM to 4 PM at the Burlington County Library System’s Main Branch Library, located at 5 Pioneer Boulevard, Westampton.

The event is organized and sponsored by the Burlington County Commissioners in partnership with the Burlington County Department of Human Services, Burlington County Health Department and Burlington County Minority and Equality Rights Task Force. It features free health screening, presentations, fitness classes and information tables from more than 40 participating agencies and service providers.

This year’s fair will also bring additional resources to assist families experiencing food insecurity.
