LACKAWANNA PLAZA HEALTH FAIR

North Jersey Alumnae Chapter’s vibrant Health Fair held at Montclair’s historic Lackawanna Plaza, a community-centered event designed to promote wellness, awareness, and accessible health resources for local families. The fair brings together health professionals, service organizations, volunteers, and NJAC members to offer blood pressure screenings, informational materials, nutrition guidance, and connections to support services. Colorful displays, balloons, and interactive tables create a welcoming environment where residents can learn about preventive care, mental health, family services, and pathways to better overall well-being.
The event reflects Delta Sigma Theta’s long-standing commitment to the Physical and Mental Health component of the Five-Point Programmatic Thrust. NJAC’s Health Fair builds bridges between community members and essential health information, prioritizing education and early intervention. By hosting the fair in a central, high-traffic space like Lackawanna Plaza, the chapter ensures accessibility and outreach to multigenerational attendees. This initiative exemplifies NJAC’s dedication to empowering communities through service, advocating for equitable health outcomes, and fostering a culture of wellness that aligns with Delta’s mission to uplift and strengthen the communities it serves.
