OUR SERVICES

Our Community Resource Fair is a vibrant and inclusive event designed to empower and support immigrant families and underserved communities. Held each year, this free event offers a wide array of resources, including health screenings, educational workshops, family-friendly activities, and access to vital services such as housing assistance and financial support. Our fair brings together community members, local organizations, and service providers, fostering a spirit of collaboration and connection. Join us at our next Community Resource Fair to explore opportunities, engage with valuable resources, and celebrate the strength and diversity of our community.
