Dear Government Agencies, Community Organizations, Employers and Churches: GREETINGS! Today, January 2nd marked the 104th day since Hurricane Maria hit the commonwealth-island of Puerto Rico. The unprecedented devastation and humanitarian crisis has created a migration exodus to the mainland. Pennsylvania is one of the top states Puerto Ricans are moving to in search of better educational, professional and economic opportunities. More than 2,000 Puerto Rican students have arrived in our public schools and many more are looking to restart their university careers at higher education institutions here. As Puerto Rico faces its most devastating situation in modern history, Pennsylvania stands with our fellow American citizens during these challenging times. Pennsylvania state agencies are partnering with local and county governments, community organizations, faith-based organizations, businesses and employers to bring One-Stop-Shop: Traveling Resource & Information Fair to cities where the highest concentration of evacuees are moving in. This fair will provide information on an array of programs and resources of great benefit to individuals and families. The traveling Resource & Information Fairs involve local volunteer organizations, state agencies, and community groups who can help with employment, immunizations, voter registration, professional licensing, health screenings, disaster relief, housing, education (primary, secondary, and higher education), birth certificates (from Puerto Rico), banking, food/clothing vouchers, and driver’s licenses. See schedule provided. We are inviting you and your agency/organization to join us! We have listed services for organizations to identify their area of service and sign-up to one or all fairs held in Harrisburg, Lancaster, Lebanon, York, Reading, Allentown and Bethlehem. To confirm your participation and to reserve a table, email [email protected]. Please provide name, title, agency/organization, date (s), location (s), and contact information in your confirmation email. We are looking forward to hearing from you in the coming days. In advance, thank you for your assistance and participation. Norman Bristol Colón Director of Special Projects & Special Assistant to the Secretary PA Department of State
