Nye County Health and Human Services will pack Social Security, veterans help, WIC, legal aid and other agencies into one day at the Tonopah Convention Center, giving rural residents a single place to ask questions and line up referrals. The Tonopah Social Services Fair is set for Thursday, July 9, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 301 Brougher Ave., with HHS staff on hand and free raffle drawings from vendors.
Attendees can meet local agencies and get community resources. Expected participants include Social Security for informational assistance, hospice care providers, Nevada Veterans Services, Aging and Disability Services, WIC, homeless resources, NyE Communities Coalition, Nevada Outreach, Nevada Legal Services, the Public Guardian office and USDA Rural Development.
Nye County Health and Human Services runs Basic Services, Long-Term Care, Medical Indigent assistance, Ryan White Funds for HIV/AIDS, Sexual Assault Victims’ Assistance and the CSBG Employment Incentive Program. The department also offers county prescription discount cards and the MyCountyCares discount dental program. A 2024 overview puts HHS at over 1,300 clients each month, and the department operates from both Pahrump and Tonopah with 18 employees and two volunteers.
Karyn Smith, the department’s director, said, “Come and learn about the many benefits available in our county at this free event, open to the public, with over 60 vendors.” Residents who want details can reach Nye County Health and Human Services at 775-751-7095 or hhs@nyecountynv.gov.
