Tunxis Community College in Farmington will host Fresh Check Day™ on May 5 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. in Tunxis parking lot adjacent to the courtyard and Library. Rain date is May 7.

Fresh Check Day is a free, celebratory fair-like event that includes interactive expo booths, free food, music, and prizes and giveaways. It’s an opportunity for students and community to check in and learn about how to get help or provide support to a friend if the stress of life becomes overwhelming.

Fresh Check Day was created by the Jordan Porco Foundation, which seeks to help people on college campuses recognize the signs that could lead to suicide and act on this heightened awareness in preventing suicide among college age students.

Tunxis Community College is located at the junction of Routes 6 and 177. For a map of campus, see tunxis.edu/directions. For more information, email [email protected].
