The caregiver resource fair is November 1, 2024 from 9 AM - 2 PM a the Wateree Community Actions Center, 201 Columbia Mall Blvd, Suite 91. The fair will have vendors from all over South Carolina - nonprofits, for-profits, and government agencies. I will need volunteers to help direct vendors in the morning, starting at 8 AM and help vendors out when the time comes to leave. I will need a volunteer to man the SC Respite Coalition table. The shift is from 8 AM - 3 PM, but I can split it up.
