Salvation Army Kroc Center 6th Annual Health Fair

The community is invited to attend The Salvation Army Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Center’s 6th Annual Health Fair on Saturday, January 21. The free event will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Salvation Army Kroc Community Center (1865 Bill Frey Drive NE). The Kroc Community Center expects more than 1,500 people to enjoy fitness demos, take part in health screenings and connect with dozens of vendors showcasing health-related products. Anticipated screenings include blood pressure, posture analysis, bone density analysis, provided by Salem Health, and computerized stress scan. Thanks to Walgreens, flu shots (while supplies last) will also be offered again this year. The day is a great opportunity for the community to learn about resources to help live a healthy lifestyle, have fun and get started on your New Year’s resolutions! As an attendance perk, the $75 registration fee will be waived for anyone who signs up for a Kroc Community Center membership during the fair and free access to Kroc Center amenities will be provided for all who visit the vendor fair. Funds raised from the annual event support the Kroc Community Center’s scholarship fund. Since opening in 2009, the scholarship program has provided assistance to over 6,000 adults & children by helping to make access to physical wellness more affordable. The Kroc Center would like to thank this years’ community partners, Salem Health, Capitol Dental Care and Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace for their support of this important mission. Those who are interested in donating directly to the scholarship fund may do so at www.salem.kroccenter.org, giving during the event, by texting the word “SCHOLARSHIP” to the number 91999 or by contacting the Kroc Community Center directly at (503) 566-5762.
