Hello all! My dear friend, Alli McGill has been working on an incredible event for the health of the neighborhood, and we’re cohosting! Ward 6 Health Day is happening at Eastern Market Metro Plaza on October 17 (yes, same day as Haul-O-Ween) and it starts at noon and goes until 3 p.m.
Ward 6 Health Day brings FREE health screenings, benefits assistance, and neighborhood resources to the heart of Capitol Hill. No appointment, no insurance, no proof of residency required: Just come and get vaccinations, health screenings, resources and more! Plus our friends at Labyrinth Puzzles and Games will be on hand with games and puzzles (obvs!). They will also have the enormous District Hunt later that day! Find out more information about that event here.
Families can also visit the COSTUME CLOSET which is in its tenth year of making local kids’ Halloweens spooky and fun. We need your help: Please help us have a healthy Halloween costume closet! Click here and order a costume to be sent directly to the closet! Have a new or gently-used costume you want to donate? Bring your donation to our friends at The Roost at Pennsylvania and 14th SE. They are kindly handling in-person collection. Your donation is much appreciated!!!
