Erie Neighborhood House will host its annual community wellness fair on Saturday, August 26, from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm at 4225 W 25th St in Chicago\u2019s South Lawndale\/Little Village neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Admission is free, and more than a dozen community partners will be on hand to distribute information and resources to local residents.<\/p>\n
Event organizers moved this year\u2019s fair to August from its typical date in June in order to capitalize on the back-to-school frenzy many families feel near the end of summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe it is important for families to have access to the tools necessary to live well, particularly as they prepare to enter a new school year,\u201d says Erie House executive director Kirstin Chernawsky. \u201cHaving that access can make a big difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n“Establishing positive, healthy routines help influence our choices about what we eat, how we spend our money, and what we do with our free time.”<\/h3>\n
Kirstin Chernawsky
\nExecutive Director, Erie Neighborhood House<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nIt\u2019s also a good time to hit the reset button on habits\u2014from dietary choices to financial decisions to exercise\u2014that might have slipped during the summer months.<\/p>\n
\u201cEstablishing positive, healthy routines help influence our choices about what we eat, how we spend our money, and what we do with our free time,\u201d explains Chernawsky. \u201cIf those routines aren\u2019t already in place, now is a great time to get started.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chernawsky celebrates that the wellness fair is now in its fifth year. \u201cWe\u2019re proud of the work our team in Little Village has done to promote a holistic approach toward health,\u201d she says. \u201cEvents like these and the programming we offer throughout the year are intended to help families on their wellness journeys.\u201d<\/p>\n
A variety of activities will be available for the whole family, including face painting, arts and crafts and basketball. Attendees will also be entered in a free raffle to win prizes courtesy of event sponsors, and backpacks with school supplies will be distributed to students while supplies last.<\/p>\n
