After a successful inaugural Pelham Health Fair in 2023, the Niagara Migrant Workers Interest Group (NMWIG), the Welland-McMaster Family Health Team, and Positive Living Niagara are hosting their second annual Pelham Health Fair for Migrant Workers on Sunday, May 26, 2024, at the Fenwick United Church.
We’re asking local businesses and community members to be a part of this event by donating a few needed items to make this year another success. Items will be distributed to migrant farm workers as welcome bags and raffle prizes during the Health Fair.
What kind of donations can you provide?
– Small items for worker welcome bags (e.g., sunglasses, reusable bags, sunblock, lip balm, first aid supplies, work gloves, snacks, gift cards)
– Raffle prizes (e.g., bicycles, gift baskets, soccer balls)
– Cash donations
Who will be in attendance? 70+ migrant workers from around the Pelham area, as well as sponsoring agencies and community representatives.
All business who donate will have their logos present at the event and on the NMWIG website with our thanks.
If you or your business are interested in donating, please contact Anneka Bosse at nmwig.ab@gmail.com.
Thank you for your consideration!
