JCRC annual health and resource fair draws a crowd

Nearly 200 community members attended Mitzvah Day in December. The Jewish Community Relations Council of the Youngstown Area Jewish Federation’s Social Action Committee partnered with Thrive and Organización Cívica y Cultural Hispana Americana, Inc. for its annual health and resource fair. It was held at OCCHA for the first time. Attendees received free haircuts and medical services from Mercy Health, learned about their rights with Community Legal Aid, and were able to “shop” in the pop-up store, which was filled with personal hygiene supplies and winter hats, coats, and gloves donated by Berk Enterprises.
