Rise Up Neighborhood Resource Fair

You spoke, and we listened.
In 2025, the Bambi Fund went door-to-door in Census Tract 1149 — the South Downtown Phoenix neighborhood bounded by 7th Street to 7th Ave, Buckeye to the river — to hear directly from residents about what matters most to them. 301 community members shared their hopes, needs, and visions for their neighborhood. Now, we're bringing those findings back to you. Join us for a block-party-inspired, shaded outdoor resource fair and community information session at Harmon Park. Come hungry, come curious, and come ready to connect.

What to Expect
Free burritos and aguas frescas by Testal, lawn games, an open mic, and a morning full of community energy. Bring your kids, your grandparents, and your community spirit.
Local organizations joining us include Fuerte Arts Movement, Just Schools, Chispa Arizona, AZ AANHPI for Equity, Cuttin' Up Community Project, the Tadini House, Reducing Extinction, and more, offering:

  • Free haircuts

  • Health resources

  • Youth and family activities

  • Cultural programming

  • Nature education

  • A poetry workshop

  • An open mic performance session
