Heart to Heart International participated in a back-to-school fair hosted by Equal Start at the beginning of August. Equal Start provides low-income families an “equal and safe opportunity for school readiness by enriching physical, mental and social well-being.” It does this through working with community partners to provide school resources, access to care and prevention education.
Over 250 families attended the back-to-school fair, and Heart to Heart International was there to give out COVID-19 information, discuss the importance of vaccinations, and hand out hygiene kits, hand sanitizer and dental kits.
We are happy to have been included because this fair allowed Heart to Heart International the opportunity to work toward our mission and values by providing access to health items while working alongside valued community partners.
