Hey 8th Ward Family! We are thrilled to announce the arrival of Black Oak Center, a fabulous Black-owned farm from Pembroke, Illinois, at Avalon Park this Friday from 3-7 p.m. The fresh produce program will begin on Friday, July 10, and continue every Friday until October 9, 2026, for their incredible WELLNESS FEST.
Join us for a delightful Therapeutic Food Market by BLACK OAKS FARM, participate in LIVINGWELL SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITIES’ neighborhood walking club (“WALK150”), watch engaging nutrition food demos, savor tasty samples, and dance to some uplifting music with our live DJ. Remember to bring a lawn chair for ultimate relaxation!
