HUDSON COUNTY EXECUTIVE CRAIG GUY TO JOIN WITH MAYOR FIFE & MAYOR GRILO & CONGRESSMAN MENENDEZ TO BRING COUNTY RESOURCES TO COMMUNITIES OF HARRISON AND EAST NEWARK

JERSEY CITY, NJ — On Saturday, October 19th, Hudson County Executive Craig Guy will join forces with Mayor James Fife of Harrison and Mayor Dina Grilo of East Newark to connect county, local and federal resources to municipalities by hosting a Hudson County Community Resource Fair at the Harrison Senior Citizens Center. Congressman Rob Menendez (N.J.-08) will also be in attendance.

“I’m thrilled to partner with Mayor Fife and Mayor Grilo to bring the Hudson County Community Resource Fair to their residents – Hudson County’s resources and services are coming to you!” said Hudson County Executive Craig Guy. “Whether a resident needs a flu shot, information regarding employment opportunities or assistance with securing food stamps – I’m bringing all of the County, municipal, and Congressional resources available to you in one place. I know how difficult it can be to visit these individual offices throughout the County and I’m proud to work with all levels of government to make getting the help you need easier. I hope to see you and your family there!”

“Our residents are best served when Municipal, County, and Congressional leaders partner together,” said Congressman Rob Menendez (NJ-08). “My team and I are proud to work with County Executive Guy, Mayor Fife, and Mayor Grilo to host a resource fair for Harrison and East Newark families this Saturday, ensuring that we meet our constituents where they are and provide them with the resources they deserve.”

The Resource Fair will be held on Saturday, October 19th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Harrison Senior Citizens Center located at 221 Harrison Avenue, Harrison, New Jersey.

Residents of Harrison and East Newark will have the opportunity to access over a dozen resource tables that host various departments and agencies within the county that are available to directly provide critical resources and services – with translators available for all Spanish-speaking citizens. These resources and services include senior citizen services, childcare and health care, small business programs and grant opportunities, as well as vaccinations administered by Hudson Regional Health, employment opportunities, and mental health services.

As one of the many initiatives County Executive Guy has undertaken, the Hudson County Community Resource Fairs are collaborative efforts with municipalities aimed at meeting residents where they are, in their own communities, while bringing together city, county, and federal resources all in one place to directly help the people and families that need them. To date, County Executive Guy has hosted resource fairs in Bayonne, Kearny, Union City, Jersey City, Hoboken, Secaucus, and West New York.

The following County resources will be available to residents at the Community Resource Fair in Harrison:
