On Saturday, October 28th, Cook County Commissioner Frank J. Aguilar hosted the Third Annual 16th District Family Resource Fair. Commissioner Aguilar was joined by Alivio Medical Center, Corazon, Walgreens, local elected officials, and 16th District community organizations to provide health and family services for residents. “I’d like to thank all of our partners for bringing these services to our district, and I’d like to thank everyone who attended this very successful Family Resource Fair,” said Commissioner Frank J. Aguilar. “I am thrilled that we were able to bring such a wide-range of services, supporting our resident’s health and their pocketbooks at the same time. There is always work to do, and I am so grateful that the 16th District is filled with organizations and residents willing to put in the time to make the 16th District as strong as it can be.” Residents received glucose screenings, HIV tests, flu vaccines, and other health and family services. Also available was a face painting station for children, and a raffle for tickets to Brookfield Zoo and the Chicago Botanic Gardens. Building trust between residents and community organizations was a critical part of this Family Resource Fair. Commissioner Aguilar and his office continue to connect 16th District residents with the many community organizations and local elected officials who have been doing the work on the ground to provide support and resources to the communities they serve.
