Families to receive free backpacks, food pantry items at Back-to-School Luau Saturday
Summer break is coming to a close for some school districts, so to celebrate the back-to-school season, El Paso Health is hosting a luau party offering free items, entertainment and information for families.
The Back-to-School Luau Health Fair is Saturday, July 14 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the El Paso Health offices located at 1145 Westmoreland Dr.

The luau is more than just a health fair. Other activities include jumping balloons, a dunk tank, face painting and games for children. Law enforcement vehicles, including a fire truck and the El Paso County Sheriff’s Show H2 Hummer, will be onsite.
The Latino Medical Student Association at Texas Tech will present a “Teddy Bear Clinic,” plus special appearances will be made by Disney’s Moana, Maui, and the Little Mermaid.
