Goal
We are excited to announce the Third Annual Lower East Side United Festival. This festival is geared towards providing the community with information and access to free resources available throughout the Lower East Side and city of New York.
During the event, youth are provided with:
FREE book bags and back-to-school haircuts, raffles, giveaways, along with fun activities such as face painting, balloon twisters, basketball skills and drills, live performances from community organizations and much more.
In order to take advantage of the free giveaways, community guests must get 8-10 stamps from over 60 organizations in attendance. This ensures that we are doing our best to empower the families that come through our gates and the organizations that serve them.
Free check-ups and information on health insurance will also be administered via medical trucks and practitioners that will be in attendance.
Free information tables include, but are not limited to: After school programs, tenant educational information, immigration information, health and wellness, financial literacy, daycare sites, religious-based community programs, volunteer opportunities, senior centers, shelters, and much more.
