Commissioner Frank J. Aguilar Hosts Fifth Annual Dia de los Muertos Family Resource Fair 

Residents from throughout the 16th District attended the fair which provided health and family services

On Saturday, October 4th, Cook County Commissioner Frank J. Aguilar hosted the Fifth Annual 16th District Dia de los Muertos Resource Fair at his district office. Partnering with Commissioner Aguilar were the Village of Lyons, Lyons School District 103, Teamsters Local 777, and Rincon Family Services.

Also in attendance to provide resources and services to constituents were Alivio Medical Center, Corazon Community Services, Mobile Care Chicago Dental, and other local organizations.

Residents received glucose screenings, HIV tests, flu vaccines, and more services. Also available was a face painting station for children. 

“I’d like to thank all of our partners for bringing these services to our district, and I’d like to thank everyone who attended this very successful Family Resource Fair,” said Commissioner Frank J. Aguilar.

Partnering with Commissioner Aguilar were the Village of Lyons, Lyons School District 103, Teamsters Local 777, and Rincon Family Services.

“I am thrilled that we were able to bring such a wide-range of services, supporting our resident’s health and their pocketbooks at the same time. There is always work to do, and I am so grateful that the 16th District is filled with organizations and residents willing to put in the time to make the 16th District as strong as it can be.”

Over the last five years, this resource fair has become a staple of the 16th District. By keeping the location the same, residents know where to access resources without the red tape and obstacles that they often face. By tailoring to the needs of the community, residents are able to obtain the services and resources they need in order to keep themselves and their families healthy, while also building relationships with local elected officials and community organizations that can provide continued support, both now and in the future.
