Scholarships Available!

Lead poisoning is an ugly problem that harms the health of our children and our neighborhoods. To eliminate lead poisoning, changes need to be made in how housing is maintained and repaired. That type of change takes concerned parents, neighborhood leaders, ministers, parish nurses, student activists, elected officials, housing agencies, health departments  and other community leaders. You need to be at the conference to learn about lead poisoning issues and how it affects your family and neighborhoods.

Thanks to our generous sponsors, we have scholarships available so everyone can attend this important meeting.  Please ask!  Contact Janet McCabe at mccabe@ikecoalition.org or 317-902-3610.
