The 2025 African Community Health Fair is an organized event initiated by African Immigrant Family Services (AIFS) to promote health and wellness within a specific community. This fair brings together healthcare providers, community organizations, and local businesses to offer various health-related services, screenings, and information to the public. The goal is to increase awareness of health issues, provide preventive care, and encourage community members to adopt healthy lifestyles. This FREE health event will provide a valuable service to our African immigrant & refugee community and is expected to draw a large number of children, parents, and seniors from the community to participate and learn about health and safety issues.
