FiftyForward had an incredible time connecting with our community and sharing resources at last week's Senior Resource Fair!

Held on October 27, 2026, at the Hermitage Community Center, attendees connected with Metro Nashville departments and community partners offering resources for older adults, caregivers, and families.

From health and wellness tips to supportive services, it was inspiring to see so many come together to champion active aging and community support.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by, participated, and helped make this event a success!
