FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Moody Methodist Church Welcomes Return of Seaside Senior Expo

Galveston, TX – August 28, 2024 – Moody Methodist Church is excited to announce the upcoming 2024 Seaside Senior Expo. This community event will provide valuable resources, information, and support for adults age 55+ and family caregivers of older adults from the Galveston County area. The expo is on Friday, September 6 from 9:00am to 1:00pm in the church gym at 2803 53rd St. in Galveston. Parking is free.

Moody Methodist Church is proud to host the 2024 expo, which had taken a hiatus since 2019, as the community navigated COVID-19. The Seaside Senior Expo will feature a wide range of exhibitors, including healthcare providers, legal experts, and community organizations focused on meeting the special needs of older adults. Attendees will have the opportunity to:

  • Explore Health and Wellness Services: Flu vaccines will be provided, with your Medicare Card, while supplies last. The Galveston County Health District will provide various health screenings.
  • Discover Financial and Legal Advice: Several free education sessions throughout the morning will cover topics such as “ Medicaid for the Middle Class” and “Estate Planning, More Than Just Important Papers”.
  • Gather Information and Resources: Attendees will have an opportunity to meet dozens of senior care vendors with fun giveaways
  • Enjoy Musical Entertainment and Lunch for Seniors: After completing a vendor fair bingo card for a chance to win a door prize, attendees are invited to enjoy a boxed lunch while listening to the vocal stylings from singer Mickey Hobbs.

"We are thrilled to bring together such a diverse group of experts and organizations dedicated to supporting our older adult community," said Alice Williams, event coordinator. "This expo is an excellent opportunity for seniors and family caregivers to gather valuable information, discover local resources, and ask questions while having fun in a safe, comfortable environment.”

The 2024 Seaside Senior Expo is free for senior adults age 55+. Family caregivers are also welcome.
