Parents and families in need of school supplies, health services, youth programs and other community resources are invited to attend State Senator Omar Aquino and State Representative Lilian Jiménez’s annual back-to-school health fair on Saturday, Aug. 10.

“In preparation for the beginning of the school year, access to resources like school supplies, school physicals and housing support are crucial, and our annual back-to-school fair brings these important services together in one accessible location to make it easier for parents to get ready for the new school year,” said Aquino (D-Chicago). “I encourage all families to join us for this fun, free event.”

The event will be held Saturday, Aug. 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Prosser Career Academy, located at 2148 N. Long Ave. in Chicago. Food and refreshments will be provided while supplies last.

Last year, over 1,000 community members attended the back-to-school fair and received more than 700 book bags. This year’s fair will offer a school supply and book bag giveaway along with health and social services including housing support, immigration assistance, youth programming, dental and school physicals and more. Children are welcome to attend and can participate in fun indoor and outdoor activities like face painting, haircuts, a bounce house and more.

Parents and guardians should register here. For more information, residents can contact Aquino’s district office at 773-292-0202 or online.
