The Southeast Community Facility Commission's 4th Annual Family Health Fair is scheduled for Saturday September 24th from 10am to 2pm. As in past years, healthy food, health care advice, children’s gardening activities, and entertainment will be abundant.
New this year is a very special awards presentation. Louise C. Jones and Catherine Sneed, respected for lifetimes of service to the education and wellness of all those living in Bayview Hunters Point, will receive well-deserved recognition for their accomplishments.
The Family Health Fair is a family-oriented event organized by the Southeast Community Facility Commission in partnership with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, San Francisco Unified School District, and many businesses, community-based organizations, and concerned citizens from Bayview Hunters Point.
“Obesity, diabetes and asthma can be stopped if our families and community stand together,” stated Commissioner Louise C. Jones, organizing committee chair.
People living in Bayview Hunters Point live on average 14 fewer years than those who live on Russian Hill, according to www.HealthMattersinSF.org.
The Southeast Community Facility is located at 1800 Oakdale Ave. For more information, contact Francis Starr or Carla Vaughn at 415.821.1534.
Also on hand, the American Red Cross, California Emergency Management and KQED will distribute nearly 1,000 free safety kits in the Bayview/Hunter's Point neighborhood
