POWAB Building Equity and
Promoting Health and Wellness
|
On Saturday, August 27, 2022, the Places of Worship Advisory Board (POWAB) held its 6th Annual Community Day Health and Wellness Fair (CDHWF)/Valley Avenue Day at Oxon Run Park from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. This year’s event was special due to the unique partnership that was formed with the Valley Avenue community. Anita Burrows, a gatekeeper in the Valley Avene community, served as the coordinator for Valley Avenue activities and ensured the community was kept abreast of the planning at all stages.
In total, 800 people registered to attend the CDHWF/Valley Avenue Day and 1,771 attended and received lunch, education, information, materials, supplies and resources that address whole person physical, mental, and spiritual health and well-being. Partnering with the Valley Avenue community was remarkable in that, according to the Valley Avenue Coordinator, Anita Burrows, community members typically do not pre-register to attend events. As such, the high number of registrants and even higher number of attendees speaks to the success of the event and the partnership.
This event was made possible thanks to the support and funding from numerous districtwide and national organization partners and sponsors and with the help of over 100 volunteers. Special thanks to UnitedHealth Care, AIDS Health Care Foundation, Damien Ministries, Valley Avenue, Capial Caring Health, Gilead Science, DC Health, Maryland Health Department, Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services and the Virginia Department of Health.

Muslim Mindful Moment
Surah 3 Ayat 29-30
Family of Imran Verses 29-30
[3.29] Say: Whether you hide what is in your hearts or manifest it, Allah knows it, and He knows whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and Allah has power over all things.
[3.30] On the day that every soul shall find present what it has done of good and what it has done of evil, it shall wish that between it and that were a distance very long; and he warns you all, does Allah, of His punishment, but Allah is also Compassionate to the servants.
Surah 5 Ayah 8 Qur'aan Kareem
