Bringing Resources to the Community: Health & Wellness Resource Fair at Eastchester Gardens

On May 17, the Eastchester Gardens Community Center was alive with energy as community members gathered for the Health & Wellness Resource Fair, hosted by NIDC’s Health Hub team. The event aimed to connect families with vital health-focused services and information, while creating a welcoming and supportive environment for all.

From free resources and giveaways to expert-led conversations, the fair brought together a range of local partners committed to improving health outcomes in the Bronx. Attendees had the opportunity to meet with representatives from city agencies, nonprofit organizations, and wellness providers offering guidance on everything from nutrition and fitness to mental health, chronic disease prevention, and family support services.

Children and adults alike enjoyed interactive stations and activities while learning more about how to make healthy, informed choices in their daily lives. Whether picking up pamphlets, signing up for follow-up care, or simply enjoying a positive community moment, participants left feeling more connected and empowered.

Events like this are a cornerstone of NIDC’s mission to make access to care and information more equitable, and to strengthen the health of our neighborhoods—one conversation, connection, and resource at a time.
