Get the Lead Out Pop Up

The Greater Southside Homeowner Association will host a pop-up Get the Lead Out event to educate and inform parents, families and neighbors about the health hazards of lead for young children from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday Aug. 7, at 1543 S. Salina St. at the A. Wright Building formerly the Able Building (across from KFC).

Due to the rise of the highly contagious Delta variant of COVID-19, all will be required to wear masks during this event (masks will be available on site). Prepackaged healthy snacks will be distributed, and the event will feature tabling by invited agencies to provide information about the risks lead poses. Collaborating organizations include: The Gifford Foundation, Southwest Community Center, Families for Lead Freedom Now, The Syracuse Tenants Union, The County Health Department Lead Program,
Home HeadQuarters, local food pantries, Success by Six, Dolly Parton’s free monthly book club for
children, the Literacy Coalition and  PEACE. There will also be a Kids Zone to entertain children.
