Music and laughter that filled the air at the 2025 North Market Community Health Fair: “Fit & Fun Family Jam,” a joyous celebration of much of what makes the North Minneapolis community so special. Attendees spoke with representatives of different community health organizations and learned more about the resources available to them. Children with vibrantly painted faces decorated the concrete underfoot with equally vibrant chalk drawings. Many received free meals, courtesy of Wendy’s House of Soul, as well as backpacks and even a free bike, in one case.

The event, hosted by Pillsbury United Communities in collaboration with Culturally Responsive Caregiver Support & Dementia Services, brought together members of the surrounding community with the goal of nurturing healthy lifestyle choices, as well as raising awareness for the many organizations that work so hard to do the same.
