Mission Statement/Purpose
The Latino Health Fair is a one-day, outreach event that gives the local Hispanic Community access to basic health screenings and to local health resources.
Major Accomplishments
Every year, St Thomas More is filled with people who come to the Fair for health screenings and health information.
Major Activity
The Health Fair is an annual outreach event that provides free health screening and information, targeting the area’s Spanish speaking population.
Meeting Frequency
Approximately six times a year (twice a month for three months) plus five hours on the day of the fair.
Meeting Venue
The fair is held in the St. Thomas More School Parish Center.
Estimated Time Commitment for Volunteers
The Committee meets twice a month for the three months preceding the Spring event. On the day of the fair volunteers usually commit five hours of time. Volunteers are needed to coordinate agencies, publicity, food and entertainment. Translators, set-up and clean-up volunteers needed the day of the Fair.
Special Skills
No special skills are needed, but Spanish speakers and volunteers with an interest in working with the Latino community is a plus.
