The Ironbound SHEroes Block Party will honor outstanding women who have contributed to the growth and vitality of the Ironbound and celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the Louise Shugard building which serves today as the Family Success Center at 317 Elm Street. Built in 1916, the Louise Shugard building began as a day nursery for children, but after the flu epidemic of 1918, became the city's only 24-hour emergency shelter for children. The building is now home to a myriad of programs and services available to the Ironbound. The family-friendly block party will feature an awards presentation to standout women in the community with music, face-painting, historic displays, lemonade and cookies to enjoy.
