IAC to hold fundraiser to benefit immigrant families

Ames had at least 3 locations in the greater New Bedford area

The Immigrants’ Assistance Center (IAC) is hosting a fundraiser dinner on Saturday, March 15:2014 from 6 p.m. until midnight at the United Fishermen’s Club at 639 Orchard Street, New Bedford, MA.

The IAC is very pleased to announce that United Healthcare Senior Care Options is proud to be the platinum Sponsor of the IAC’s Spring Fundraiser. United Healthcare Senior Care options is a senior program for underserved people 65 or older. The organization is a strong advocate dedicated to the communities they serve. We greatly appreciate their partnership in serving the immigrant elderly of Bristol County.

Due to severe budget cuts, the IAC had to decrease the hours of several programs that provide direct services to the non-English speaking elders and to immigrant families. In order to keep providing these extremely valuable services, the IAC needs to raise funds to sustain our programs. Unfortunately, due to lack of employment, the number of clients seeking our services keeps increasing making it difficult to meet their basic needs.

The IAC is asking for your support by either providing a general donation or purchasing tickets for this event. Ticket price is $25.00 per person. Cash bar will be available. For tickets or further information please contact the IAC at 508-996-8113.
