Casa Central’s annual Harvest Fest is Friday, September 27th, from 3 – 6pm, at the intersection of California Ave. & Evergreen Ave., in Humboldt Park, Chicago. This fun, family event features a variety of partners providing free resources and education. Highlights of the 2024 Harvest Fest include:

Free Groceries: Fresh produce and more — free of charge to attendees, while supplies last. Plus, additional resources from Top Box Foods and The Greater Chicago Food Depository.

Food & Food Justice: Learn about the importance of local food systems, and check out a juicing demonstration with Chef Marquinn, owner of 7323 Chicago Café in Woodlawn. Sample a new local food vendor, Smash Jibarito.

Resources & Services: Learn about Casa Central’s social service programs from representatives of our Home Care Services, Adult Wellness Center and Children & Youth programs, along with representatives from 26th Ward Alderperson Jessie Fuentes’ office and the Puerto Rican Cultural Center.
