Annual Help Fair
Next CJ Annual Help Fair: Saturday, September 25, 2011
The annual CJ Help Fair – Fería de Ayuda offers outreach and networking opportunities to service providers working in the areas of health, housing, education, employment, legal and social services.
Government offices, non-profits, churches, educational institutions, businesses and others serving Cville’s Latino community are invited to participate with an information table and/or to donate funds, food, music, dance performance, or a door prize. In addition to these information tables operated by service providers, CJ Help fairs include workshops and medical examinations. Some 150 – 200 Latinos have attended.
Persons interested in the September 2011 CJ Help Fair, including those who would like to assist in its organization, should contact Martha Trujillo at mtrujillo@unitedwaytja.org or (434) 972-1703. For overviews of previous CJ Help Fairs, visit the section CJ Initiatives on the CJ website.
