Kenosha Community Back to School Health Fair to be held Thursday, Aug. 21

Kenosha County Public Health and other partners are hosting a back-to-school health fair for families from 3 to 6 PM. Thursday, Aug. 21, at Brass Community School.

This free event will include free backpacks and school supplies, and an opportunity to connect with local community programs and resources for families. More than 40 vendors will be present.

Brass Community School is located at 6400 15th Ave. in Kenosha.

“This event has been very popular over the last couple of years, with hundreds of families coming out to make sure they’re prepared for the new school year,” Kerkman said. “It’s a great opportunity to learn about the health and family resources available from the county and our community partners.”

A limited number of immunizations will be available for children enrolled in or eligible for Medicaid, those with no insurance, and those with insurance that does not cover immunizations.

In addition to Kenosha County Public Health, event partners include the Racine Kenosha Community Action Agency, the Shalom Center and WIC.
