Nearly 2,000 community members joined Meridian's Back-to-School Fit Fairs!
At Meridian Health Services, helping keep our communities healthy, happy, and strong is at the heart of what we do. This July, we were proud to partner with community schools in Richmond and Muncie to help local families get ready for a successful school year.
Through these partnerships, we hosted a one-stop-shop that provided everything kids they needed to start the school year off right!
Provided was:
1,100+ backpacks filled with school supplies
School registration support
1,500+ FREE meals
1,500+ FREE health screenings
Nearly 150 low-cost sports physicals
80+ immunizations
Health insurance assistance for nearly 100 attendees
Community resource connections for families
50+ free haircuts and nail paintings from PJ's College of Cosmetology
Live music from local radio stations
We are incredibly grateful to our school partners, sponsors, community organizations, volunteers, and everyone who attended. Because of your support, these events made a meaningful impact on children and families across our communities.
