More than 500 people attended the Immigrant Fair at a Latter-day Saint church building in Woods Cross on Saturday to learn about resources that are available to help them settle into the community.

More than 30 groups set up tables where they offered legal help, explained education options, and talked about health services and insurance. There were also public safety officers and other partners. The nonprofit she works with helps Latinos with health and legal services, and she wants more people to know that they are not alone.
