Are you familiar with our Youth & Family Connection Committee?

The Youth & Family Connection Committee is a welcoming group of Eastown volunteers dedicated to bringing families together through fun activities, events, and workshops. We’re all about building connections; not just between neighbors, but also with various non-profit organizations in our community that support our youth. By joining us, you can make a real difference in creating a more engaged and connected community.

The YFCC is responsible for planning family events including Kids' Bazaar, Fun-Filled Fairgrounds, Holiday Craft Night, as well as facilitating initiatives such as the Snow Angels. If this sounds like something you'd like to be involved in, come check us out!

We meet at the ECA (415 Ethel Ave) on the first Tuesday of each month from 7p-8p, so for October that's tomorrow, the 6th. We’d love to see you there! by @eastowngr

Get ready to bring some color to the 2026 Eastown Streetfair!

Head over to the Fun Filled Fairgrounds (our dedicated kids and family area on Ethel) for our hands-on Tie-Dye Tent!

Here is everything you need to know to get creative:

Bring Your Own Garment: Have a favorite white tee, canvas tote, or pair of socks sitting at home? Bring your own garment to dye for free! (100% cotton recommended)

Youth Shirts Available: We have a limited supply of youth t-shirts on-site available for an optional donation

Grab the kids, pick your favorite colors, and leave with a one-of-a-kind wearable souvenir. See you there on 9/19! by @eastowngr
