Friends,

There are a number of important and time-sensitive events happening in District J and throughout the City of Houston of which I want you to be aware. It is my hope that you will take advantage of these opportunities and play an active role in the betterment of our local community.

Together we will!

Edward Pollard

 

COMMUNITY DAY

Join Council Members Edward Pollard of District J and Tiffany Thomas of District F as they celebrate their birthdays by giving back to the community! The public is invited to attend two free events on on Saturday, July 18, where you can receive free COVID testing, face masks and food distribution. No registration is required.

 

WE NEED YOU: COVID-19 SURVEY

In order for the city of Houston to get the resources necessary to stop the spread of COVID-19, we must use every tool available. We’re asking every resident to take this short survey to help support the request for additional resources to help combat COVID in hot spots throughout the city, including District J. The survey results will help leaders advocate for more testing sites, masks, food and other items. Click the picture below to take the survey.
