Clay County High School hosted a Wellness Day on Friday, Dec. 2, 2022, featuring a range of activities and resources focused on promoting health and preparedness in the community. One of the highlights of the event was the presence of Clay County CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), who distributed preparedness materials and recruited volunteers.
In addition to recruiting new volunteers, CERT also registered blood donors at the event. Blood donations are critical for maintaining a healthy and reliable supply for those in need, and CERT was pleased to have the opportunity to encourage community members to give blood and make a difference in the lives of others.
The Wellness Day at Clay County High School was a great success, with many community members taking advantage of the resources and activities on offer. Clay County CERT is grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in the event and promote the organization’s mission of promoting preparedness and resilience in the community.
During the event, CERT members distributed preparedness materials, such as emergency supply lists to attendees. They also highlighted the importance of giving back to the community in times of need. The Wellness Day featured a variety of activities and demonstrations, including yoga and meditation sessions, cooking demonstrations, and informational booths on topics such as mental health and emergency preparedness.
“Wellness Day was a very successful event for us, and we are excited to work with the High School in the future,” said Service & Management coordinator, Isaac Brown. “We hope that by providing information and resources, we can encourage our community to be better prepared for any emergency situation that may arise.”
The event was a success, with nearly 500 attendees and numerous volunteers and blood donors being recruited. Clay County CERT would like to thank Clay County High School and all those who participated in making the Wellness Day a success. The organization looks forward to continuing to serve and support the community in the future.
