The GOC Fall Festival, hosted by the Gainesville Opportunity Center is an annual community event and open house. The Gainesville Opportunity Center (GOC) is dedicated to helping adults living with mental illness re-integrate into the community and lead meaningful lives. The Fall Festival serves as a vibrant way to achieve many goals. 
Community Connection: It's a chance for Members to connect with a wider community and for supporters and community partners to learn about the GOC services. Many of community partners will also be tabling, allowing all of us to learn about the support in our community for people living with mental illness. 
Fun and Socializing: This event is characterized by a welcoming atmosphere of "food, friends and fun."
Fundraising and Awareness: It serves as a way to gather community support and raise awareness for their cause.
