Community Health Development, Inc. is hosting its 2nd annual health festival in partnership with Equality Health Foundation on Saturday, July 8, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Christmas in July festival will take place at Uvalde County Fairplex, located at 215 Veterans Lane, Uvalde, TX 78801.

This event is designed to bring the community together to facilitate optimal health and well-being. The first 1,000 families will receive a free healthy bag filled with ham, fresh produce, health resources, and toys for the kids while supplies last. The San Antonio Food Bank will be present to hand out fresh produce and the Texas Diaper Bank is going to sponsor the event and provide over $50,000 worth of essentials for families.

In addition to the healthy bag giveaway, there will be kids activities, health education sessions, medical screenings to include COVID-19 testing and vaccines, flu shots, mammograms, breast health screenings and diabetes testing, as well as community resources and information geared to support families in need.
