South Dade News Leader

Arrived at the Homestead Housing Authority before the 10 am starting time to find a crowd of several hundred early participants already enjoying the activities. Found my contact, Executive Director Shane White Sr., who ushered me away from the upbeat music to a table under one of the tents. With a smile he confided, “People were in line at 8:30 to get free back packs and gifts. We decided to move the date forward to combine Back to School with the Health Fair.”
