A  community  health  expo ​is scheduled for Saturday March 21 2020, hosted from  10:00  am  to  2:00  pm  at  the  SoNo  Collection,  located at 100 N Water Street, Norwalk, CT. This will be one of many annual Community Health Events hosted by the Foundation of Hope throughout Connecticut during the course of 2020.

The Foundation of Hope provides solutions to many overwhelming issues for  
our  community  members  who  are  underserved,  bringing  together  charitable  organizations and local volunteers to offer many different services to communities in Connecticut. The Foundation provides its programs at no cost, and is looking for official corporate sponsors to contribute their services to the upcoming 2020 health fairs.  The  health  fair  provides  thousands  of  dollars  worth  of  health  care  services  not  regularly accessible to the community free of charge. 

This  health  fair,  coordinating  the  services  of  local health care providers, charities,  businesses,  and  a  pool  of  dedicated  individual  volunteers,  serves  approximately 2,000  individuals  and  800  families  annually.  Local  doctors,  nurses  and  health  practitioners  come  together  to  administer  a  multitude  of  important  preventative tests including but not limited to, ​vein care services, free flu vaccines (If you have insurance or Medicare please bring your card with you so that the free flu vaccines can be used for those who are uninsured), eye exams, dental and podiatry exams​, blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, body fat analysis pulmonary function tests, a large ​kidney screening exhibit, and confidential HIV testing. Nurses will also educate on breast and testicular self-exams, Salsa, Zumba, and Aerobic  demonstrations and  performance.  

The  health  fair also caters to families, by providing fun family friendly activities to  educate  parents  in  caring  for their children’s health, diet and dental hygiene. This event,  with  its  wealth  of  services  provided,  combined  with  free  food,  prizes  and  raffles, aims to reach out to as many members of the local community as possible.  

This is a completely unfunded event that brings thousands of dollars worth of free health care to those in need. This event is annually sponsored by local organizations and corporations passionate about serving and educating the community.   

About Foundation of Hope: 
The Foundation of Hope is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to campaigning for community members spanning numerous Connecticut locales. The Foundation is driven by the idea that a true community is not just about being geographically close  to  someone  or  part  of  the  same  social  web  network.  Rather,  community  depends  on  its  members  feeling  connected  to  one  another  and  responsible for  what  happens  to  their  fellows.  Humanity  is  the  ultimate  community,  and  everyone plays a crucial role.  

The foundation began as an effort to create environments within local communities that  inspire  hope  for  those  who  are  hopeless.  This  non-profit  organization  is  dedicated  to  collaborating  with  charitable  organizations  to  provide  solutions  to social issues, disaster relief, medical assistance and humanitarian aid with particular attention to children and education. All programming comes at no cost.   

In  order  to  continue  and  expand  its  programming  offerings,  the  Foundation  is  requesting the support of community stakeholders, particularly local companies to become official corporate sponsors. These sponsors will receive promotion through the  Foundation  (for  details,  please  see  contact  information  provided  below),  as  thanks for their support for the continuation and expansion of the foundation’s free educational programming.   
During  this  event,  Foundation  of  Hope  seek  to  find  ways  to  collaborate  and  cooperate  with  the local community and find ways to serve the community more effectively and efficiently. If your company is interested in being an official sponsor, please call Foundation of Hope’s Marketing Director Mariam Gonzales at 862.373.8371.
