Resource Fair Emphasizing Vet Services

By Jim W. McGee

The Good Samaritan Network of Hamilton County is pleased to announce the return of this free public event, the Hamilton County Resource & Health Fair 2025 on June 6, noon to 4 p.m. at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds.

The public is encouraged to join in for this exciting event to empower and engage the community and foster a stronger, more informed Hamilton County.

Join us for a community event that will bring together about 1,200 attendees. You can explore nearly 100 vendor booths that will offer food, clothing, baby supplies, and social services. Many nonprofits, businesses, and local organizations will be present to share programs and services that support families in Hamilton County and improve their quality of life.

Various exhibitors will provide educational information, health resources, and free items for those visiting different booths. Door prizes will be drawn by those who complete an onsite survey. Discover invaluable resources, explore volunteer opportunities, and become part of a vibrant community dedicated to making a difference.

This year’s event will emphasize veterans services, highlighting the resources and support available to veterans, including benefits like health care, education, and disability compensation, and advocating for their needs within our communities and organizations.

To register as an exhibitor or vendor, please visit the Good Samaritan Network website (www.gsnlive.org/resourcefair). Nonprofit organizations can participate for free, while for-profit exhibitors must pay a small registration fee. The registration deadline is May 30. Space is limited, so early registration is strongly recommended.

GSN Founder/Executive Director Nancy Chance says, “The Resource Fair is a remarkable free event for Central Indiana! Our vendors and exhibitors bring their extensive resources and expertise to one convenient location. By attending, families will have access to a wealth of information that can help them make informed decisions and discover opportunities they might not have heard about before!”
