WILKES-BARRE, June 10 – State Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski proudly hosted a very well-attended senior fair on May 22 at the Wyoming Valley Mall, providing Luzerne County seniors and their families with a comprehensive array of resources and services designed to enhance their quality of life.
The free event, held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., featured 40 vendors offering a wide range of services, including free health screenings, legal advice, caregiver resources, and transportation information. Attendees had the opportunity to engage directly with representatives from state and local agencies, healthcare providers, insurance companies, and senior living communities.
“Lots of folks don’t even know some of the resources that are available to them,” Pashinski said. “That’s why this one-stop-shop kind of concept gives them a very good idea of what’s out there. We had so many great conversations during this event and everyone was happy – verry happy to be able to have a face-to-face conversation to answer their questions and to receive so many handouts related to their concerns.”
The senior fair also provided information on health care services and insurance options, senior discount programs, resources for caregiving, housing, and transportation, as well as educational materials on state and federal assistance programs.
For those who were unable to attend, Pashinski encourages residents to contact his office at 570-825-5934 in Wilkes-Barre and 570-301-6158 in Plains for assistance in connecting with available services.
“My staff and I are looking forward to the next senior fair in 2026,” Pashinski said.
