Health Day 2024 was incredible!

On Sunday, September 15th, we held our 16th annual Health Day at North Avenue Presbyterian Church, and it was fantastic.

We had an amazing turnout as 321 guests and 331 volunteers came together to celebrate good health and kinship as a community. It was great to see everyone spending quality time together, engaging in conversations, and enjoying each other’s company. It truly was a time of building kinship with one another, and loving our neighbors well, with dignity and kindness.

Close to 200 guests received medical services, including check-ups, screenings, foot care, women’s health, mental wellness, herbal care, dental, and vision. Many others received haircuts, manicures, showers, registered to vote, spent time in the prayer tent, and enjoyed the music, food, books, art, and games available.

Thank you so much to all of our volunteers and partners for making Health Day such a special event and hospitable space with our friends experiencing homelessness. It was clear that all of our participants felt seen, heard, and welcomed, and we are grateful for that.
