BUFFALO, N.Y. (July 29, 2013) – Free school supplies will be available at the Independent Health Foundation’s Good for the Neighborhood program from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2013, at Westminster Community Charter School, 24 Westminster Ave.
The free giveaway is available while supplies last at this month’s event, which is open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendees need not be members of Independent Health, but a child must be present to receive the free supplies.
The supply giveaway is part of a back-to-school theme at the Good for the Neighborhood event, which also includes activities for children, a free farmers’ market with fresh fruits and vegetables, a healthy cooking demonstration by the Westminster Kitchen and free healthy food samples. In addition, this event features free health screenings for blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol and body mass index, as well free vision screenings provided by Davis Vision.
Good for the Neighborhood brings health and wellness programs to residents in underserved areas to improve their health. The program is made possible in part by AstraZeneca and The John R. Oishei Foundation. For more information on this event, please contact the Independent Health Foundation at 635-4959.
