Commissioner Alicia Reece invites you to Everything Hamilton County, a one-stop community resource event celebrating the 300th stop of the 513Relief Bus.

This impactful event brings over 60 county service providers together in one location to make essential services accessible and convenient for residents. Whether you need health screenings, assistance with birth certificates, employment opportunities, veteran services, or fresh produce, this event is designed to meet real community needs — all in one place.

The 513Relief Bus continues to connect residents directly to critical county resources, and this milestone celebration highlights the commitment to serving Hamilton County neighborhoods where they are.

Starting February 2026, the Healthy Harvest Mobile Market is expanding to better serve Avondale by splitting into two new monthly locations. This change makes fresh, healthy food more accessible to more residents—while keeping the same trusted market experience.

The market will now rotate once per month at each location:

📍 Rockdale Academy
335 Rockdale Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45229
First market: Wednesday, March 8, 1–3 PM

📍 Avondale Business Center
3635 Reading Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45229
First market: Wednesday, February 25, 1–3 PM

Residents can shop for fresh produce and healthy food options in a welcoming, community-centered environment.

For the full market schedule, visit healthyharvestmobilemarket.com.

Special thanks to our partners—Freestore Foodbank, The Community Builders, and Avondale Development Corporation—for helping make this expansion possible.
