It will be a fun evening  this coming May 8th as the South Texas Food Bank hosts its seasonal health fair.

 

Following the success of last year's fall health festival, the spring edition promises to be bigger and full of color and fun for the entire family. This theme for this edition is Go Green! - green the color of life, the color of fresh.

​

The event will feature organizations that will offer a wide variety of information and services that impact not only physical health, but home and financial wellness as well.

 

"Modern food banking is more holistic. We are more than just a food center where people can come and get free food. We are a place that creates awareness, provides social services, promotes long-term sustainability and addresses the underlying causes of hunger, which include poverty and poor healthcare," said Alma Boubel, Executive Director.

 

"This is why we are very excited to have all these great organizations participate in this event and give us the opportunity to present and offer resources that are useful and will improve the health and quality of life of our community," she concluded.

 

If you are interested in participating with a booth, volunteering or donating to the event, please contact the Marketing Department.

​

The health fair will also include a farmers mercado featuring a wide variety of seasonal produce that attendees will get a chance to take home for free, plus food samples, and fun giveaways. Thanks to the many businesses that will be donating door prizes to be given away during the event.

​

 The South Texas Food Bank will present the Volunteer Group of the Year and the Volunteer of the Year award in honor of National Volunteer Month.

​

The event is free and open to the public.

 

The Spring into Health Fair will take place on Thursday, May 5th at the South Texas Food Bank (2121 Jefferson St.) from 5:30 P.M. - 8 P.M.
