Activities 

Join us for a free screening event! We will be screening children under the age of 6, and pregnant/nursing women!

Testing Events:

• Saturday, December 7th 12-3pm: Hawthorne Neighborhood Council, 2944 Emerson Ave. N., Minneapois, MN 55411
• Saturday, December 14th 10-1pm: Centro Navidad Event at the Convention Center Ballroom A, 1301 2nd Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN 55403
• Sunday, December 30th 5:30-7:30pm: Nokomis Community Center, 2401 E Minnehaha Pkwy, Minneapolis, MN 55417

• What to Expect from Screening Events

• A small sample of blood is taken via a capillary finger stick, which feels only temporarily uncomfortable, like a quick pinprick.

• Samples are processed on-site through a LeadCare machine, which gives you results after 3 minutes.

• We'll offer information about the health effects of lead poisoning, where lead might be in your home and give you information about our grant programs, which can help you remediate lead hazards in your home.

FREE Stuffed Animals and a book for kids who get tested!
