Spring Fair 2007
- United Communities Southeast Philadelphia: We are pleased to invite you to join United Communities Southeast Philadelphia for our 4th annual Spring Fair. United Communities organized its’ 3rd Spring Fair in 2006 and had over 500 guests that enjoyed food, entertainment, massages, and access to a wide variety of local community resources. Children that attended had the opportunity to have a free physical exam and participated in a variety of planned activities (arts and crafts, dance performances and athletic programs). With the success of the 2006 Spring Fair, United Communities is hoping to increase attendance to over 700 guests and to provide more health-related services and community resources. On Saturday, May 19th (11am-3pm), the fair will take place on the 1900 and 2000 blocks of South 8th Street (Mifflin Street to Snyder Avenue) in addition to space inside Bok High School where United Communities operates a Beacon School. While United Communities is hosting the event and seeking exposure of agency programs, the focus of this event is on providing community members with an opportunity to learn about the large variety of health services and other resources that are available to them in South Philadelphia. This includes the emphasis on a healthy lifestyle through connecting with health care providers. This year, the Spring Fair will allow community members to have access to health screenings and physicals. These are services that people might not receive otherwise because low-income families served by United Communities are often unable to access adequate health care regularly. Additionally, there will be information from other service providers to enable them to inform the community of their services Below you can find more details on all of the events that will be taking place at this year's Spring Fair. As the Spring Fair draws closer and more information becomes available, this page will be updated. So please check back regularly. Click Here for an Event Flyer in PDF Format
