Back To School Health Fair a great success





Sending out a big "Thank You!" to the 26 volunteers who showed up for the 7th Annual Back To School Health Fair Event hosted by the West Fresno Health Care Coalition. Another big "Thank You!" goes out to all those who donated backpacks or money for the purchase of school supplies.

More than 1,400 children received backpacks filled with school supplies, 53 of which were donated by V4CF. Next year, our goal will be to donate 100 backpacks to this event. Families that attended the events received information and free health screening from the various health-related organizations that participated in the event. In addition to providing the West Fresno Health Care Coalition with volunteers, we hosted a booth where kids played with Play-Doh and enjoyed coloring and hula-hooping.

Thanks to the your generosity, more than 1,400 kids will have a great start to the new school year!
