Far South Side Resource Fair set for Oct. 27th

Whether looking to prepare for winter with a free flu shot, looking for employment, information on city services, or learning about nearby amenities, far south side residents will want to be at the 9th Ward’s Resource Fair on Thursday, Oct. 27th.

Hosted by 9th Ward Alderman Anthony A. Beale and State Representatives Nicholas “Nick” Smith and Robert “Bob” Rita, the Resource Fair will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Pullman Community Center, 10355 S. Woodlawn.

With broad participation from the City of Chicago, Cook County, State
of Illinois, and Cook County Sheriff’s Department, attendees will have an opportunity to meet organizations, vendors, and social service agencies who offer support services in the areas of health and wellness, transportation, community safety, and more. Among the many free
services offered at the 9th Ward Resource Fair are shredding, electronic recycling, reasonable junk removal, and the disposal of prescription medications. Additional services being offered are COVID vaccinations
and boosters, flu shots, and blood donations.

“We’ve assembled a broad range of services that we know match peoples’ real needs – whether that be for a flu shot or document shredding – both essential to keeping their families safe,” says Alderman
Beale.

This event is free and open to the public. No need to register, but if you
would like more details, please email Ward09@CityofChicago.org or call the 9th Ward office at 773.785.1100.
