The District 3 community in San Antonio is gearing up for the new school year with its Annual Back-to-School Health and Resource Fair. Set for today, from 8 a.m. to noon, families are invited to join this no-cost event at Child Advocates San Antonio located at 1956 S WW White Rd, 78222. A collaborative effort by local leadership and various organizations, the fair's purpose is to provide students and their families with crucial back-to-school necessities and healthcare services. More details are available on the official website.
Attendees can look forward to a variety of benefits that include free backpacks and school supplies, as long as supplies last. Free health screenings and immunizations will also be on offer, ensuring each child's wellness as they embark on the academic year. Beyond these, a host of community resource booths will offer insight into youth programs, housing options, mental health resources, and the event promises an array of fun activities crafted for children and their families. State Representative Liz Campos, Brooks Gives Back, South Texas Blood & Tissue, the San Antonio Food Bank, and other partners are all contributors to this event's fruition.
Event highlights from the district's announcement reveal further community engagement, with the first 200 families receiving free produce bags — a gesture underscoring the commitment to nourishing both the minds and bodies of the district's youth. District 3 Councilmember Viagran, reflects on the fair's impact, "Each year, this event grows bigger and better. It’s all about coming together to support our students and families so they start the school year strong," according to the City of San Antonio. These words, emblematic of the underlying solidarity fueling the event, capture the essence of the fair's objectives.
