You’re Invited to Sankofa Community Give Back 11:00am – 3 pm, July 30th

Sankofa Reproductive Health and Healing Center, in Syracuse’s Southside neighborhood, is inviting members of the community for a giveaway of items for women and families. This event is planned by our Synergy summer interns with support from staff.

Location: Southside Communication Center 2331 South Salina Street
Time: 11:00am to 3:00 pm

Sankofa Community Give Back

Everything is free to the community and includes diapers, wipes, feminine hygiene products, baby clothes, maternity clothes, nursing bras, and more. The event will be from 11:00am to 3:00 pm Saturday, July 30 at 2331 South Salina Street. We recommend everyone to wear a face mask. There will be music, face painting, and a fresh-food giveaway, as well as multiple raffles for items including two strollers, a breastpump, a carseat, and many other essentials.

“Our Annual Sankofa Giveback serves as an opportunity to let our community know we are here to support them. We are living in uncertain times and support for families in the Sankofa district is needed and is especially important considering how so many families have been financially impacted by generational poverty exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our goal at the Center is to reimagine what community healing can look like through radical love, mutual aid, and community-led reproductive justice for the families we serve,” said SeQuoia Kemp, co-founder and Executive Director of Sankofa Reproductive Health and Healing Center.

“Our Sankofa interns are the future leaders of tomorrow and it gives me joy to see their involvement and support for our Annual Giveback. I believe we are passing the torch and instilling in our interns the passion, advocacy, and care for the Birth worker field.” Winston J. Scott, Operations Coordinator of Sankofa Reproductive Health and Healing Center

Our community giveback continues to be inspired by the difficulties many families are facing in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Sankofa Reproductive Health and Healing Center intends to host a Community Giveback once every summer.

Sankofa Heals thanks the Allyn Foundation, CNY Black Artist Collective, BLM Syracuse, Unchained, Doula 4 a Queen, Village Birth International Inc. and all of our volunteers for their support–and thanks community members for their donations!
