Join us for our Annual Back to School Fair! 🎒✏️
Dear Neighbor,
Summer is in full swing, and it’s been wonderful seeing neighbors at community events across the 39th District all season long.
As August approaches, the start of the new school year will be here before we know it! And our Annual Back to School Fair and Local Business Mercado with Hermosa Neighborhood Association is coming up soon!
Last year, we passed out over 1000 backpacks to neighborhood families, and over 30 community resources and elected officials and over 20 Mercado vendors joined us! We are looking forward to continuing in the tradition of helping prepare families for a successful start to the school year.
Join us on Saturday, August 17 from 10am to 1pm, at Kelvyn Park, 4438 W Wrightwood for:
🎒 Free backpacks*
✏️ Free school supplies*
🍏 Free produce*
🛍️ Local vendors
💇 Free haircuts
🏥 Free health resources and services
🧡 Community resource tables
*While supplies last! Please note that all giveaways are on a first come, first serve basis! Free produce will be available for the first 150 families.
If you are a small, local business interested in being a vendor at the mercado, please fill out this form with HNA.
Hope to see you there!
