Catherine Mahaffey East Whatcom Wellness Fair 2024

Join us  at the 3rd Annual Catherine Mahaffey East Whatcom Wellness Fair! Free services and resources will be offered by local providers. Event is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Free to attend, the Wellness Fair is named in honor of the late Catherine Mahaffey, a philanthropist deeply invested in the health and well-being of the people in her East Whatcom community. The event brings free and much-needed health services to a region where healthcare is often an hour or more away. Free burrito bowls will be provided by the Common Threads Food Truck. Shuttles from Kendall Elementary School to the East Whatcom Regional Resource Center are available every 15 minutes.
