More than 500 people attended the Immigrant Fair at a Latter-day Saint church building in Woods Cross on Saturday to learn about resources that are available to help them settle into the community.
WOODS CROSS, Utah — Moving to a new country can be scary, and it can be challenging to find the resources one needs to build a new life.Harold Martinez, one of the organizers, said seeing the large turnout was a joy to watch because there are so many things that people might be scared to ask for help about, especially when they are trying to assimilate to a new culture and could have language barriers as well.
More than 30 groups set up tables where they offered legal help, explained education options, and talked about health services and insurance. There were also public safety officers and other partners. The nonprofit she works with helps Latinos with health and legal services, and she wants more people to know that they are not alone.
