Pregnant individuals and families with children up to 5-years-old are invited to meet an Infant Health Public Health Staff. Services available include resources, group education, group or one-on-one support, and baby supplies. 

Somali speaking staff from Bloomington Public Health will be available on site during these sessions. If other languages are needed, interpretation is available. 

Please note:

Due to feedback from the parent group that attends this session, the format has been updated to virtual, and the time has been changed. These changes will remain in effect through the end of the Infant Health Initiative grant period in April 2026.

In the past, this group typically met on the third Friday of the month, 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. However, all sessions through April 2026 will follow the updated virtual format and new time. 

**The session originally scheduled for 4/17/2026 has been rescheduled to 4/18/2026 at 11:30am-12:30pm.**

Save the date: Saturday, May 2nd from 10-noon

Join Bloomington staff and sustainability commission members to pull garlic mustard plants.  

Garlic mustard is a non-native, invasive plant. Because of its aggressive nature and prolific seeding, it alters ecosystems, choking out beneficial native plants and flowers that pollinators and other wildlife depend on. Garlic mustard often moves in after buckthorn is removed.

No experience is necessary. Instructions and equipment will be provided. Please bring your own work gloves and water bottle.
