Sen. Steve Santarsiero (D-10) announced community events this fall. The schedule is as follows:
– KidsFest on Saturday, Sept. 25, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Morrisville High School in Morrisville Borough
– Flu Shot Clinic on Saturday, Oct. 9, from 1 to 3 p.m. at Charles Boehm Middle School in Lower Makefield Township
– Shredding Event & Toy Drive on Saturday, Oct. 16, from 10 a.m. to noon at Holy Family University in Newtown Township

“I am so excited to host a diverse series of events this fall, connecting residents of all ages with a variety of information on state and local services,” said Santarsiero. “Kicking off the event calendar will be KidsFest, featuring information on children’s health and safety, including demonstrations from local police and fire companies, as well as information on vaccines and children’s healthcare. We’ll also have family friendly entertainment, including a magician and local food trucks.
“It is so important that everyone get a flu shot, which is why I am hosting a flu shot clinic on Oct. 9.”
The clinic will be in partnership with Rite Aid and is free with proof of insurance.
The Shredding Event & Toy Drive will be co-hosted with Rep. Perry Warren (D-31) and will benefit Toys for Tots. Habitat for Humanity Re-Store will also be on hand to accept furniture and housewares donations.
“During the shredding event, residents can help protect their identities by safely disposing of documents with personal information,” said Santarsiero. “It is also a perfect opportunity to spread holiday cheer by donating a toy for children to receive this holiday season.”
The Veterans Luncheon will honor veterans ahead of Veteran’s Day, offering resources and information about programs that benefit those who served, including information for young veterans on job placement opportunities through Comcast’s VetNet program.
“Veterans serve and protect our country, and when they return to civilian life there are resources available to help them make that transition, as well as services available on a continuing basis,” said Santarsiero. “As the son of a World War II veteran, I have an incredible amount of respect for those who serve our nation. Through this event I hope to offer my gratitude and make sure the veterans in our community are aware of all the resources available to them.”
In November, there will be two College Financial Planning Nights, one at Pennsbury and one at Central Bucks. Each event will feature experts on planning and saving for college, financial aid and college admissions.
“It is never too early or too late to begin saving for college,” said Santarsiero. “There are many state resources like 529s and financial aid programs that can benefit our residents, and I look forward to once again being able to share this information with parents and students in our community.”
Events will follow CDC guidance regarding masking, requiring all individuals to wear a mask when indoors.
