The “Feeding Souls, Protecting Bodies: HIV Outreach in South Florida” free farmers market and health fair on Saturday, November 2, from 9 a.m. to noon, will offer complimentary fresh produce and pantry staples from local vendors plus HIV screenings and health check-ups. This quality-of-life improvement event is a collaboration between DKBmed, an integrated continuing medical education company, and Sunshine Cathedral, the world’s largest progressive LGBTQ+ church.

Medical staff from Holy Cross Health will be on-site to offer health education, pamphlets (in English, Spanish, and Creole) and free screenings for HIV, as well as blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, Hepatitis C, and syphilis. Referral coordinators will also be present to help patients schedule follow-up visits with healthcare providers. Event visitors are encouraged to engage with the various partners through a fun health passport game. Holy Cross will offer a $10 Visa gift card for those who get a stamp in their passport plus they will be entered into a raffle to win a $100 Visa gift card.
