🎉 The Gist: The City of Savannah Economic Development Department is hosting “Pop-up in the Park” events on Saturday, June 15, to engage with westside Savannah neighborhood residents, distribute free summer fun kits, and collect survey responses.
🤔 Why It Matters: The events aim to gather data through surveys that will help plan future giveaways and neighborhood improvements, while providing residents with free summer fun items and refreshments.
📅 Event Details:
- Saturday, June 15, 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. at Bowles C. Ford Park, 1900 Stiles Ave.
- Saturday, June 15, 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. at Fellwood Park, 50 Kenney Anderson Collection Dr.
🎁 Summer Fun Kits: The kits include a $20 Forsyth Farmers’ Market voucher, a reusable drawstring bag, a kickball, a jump rope, a cooling towel, and a rechargeable handheld fan. Items will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
💸 Funding: The pop-up events and giveaways are made possible through funding the City received from a CDC ACTion grant, which aims to improve social determinants of health in the community.
