UPHCS invites you to be a sponsor for the upcoming Marquette County Community Resource Fair. This event brings together healthcare organizations, providers, community-based organizations, and community members for a day of free resources, networking, and support.

This event will be held on Friday, June 12th at the Lakeview Arena in Marquette, MI. We are seeking sponsors to help make this event a success for the community. Your support will allow us to provide a range of impactful experiences for attendees. Sponsorship opportunities are available through both monetary donations and in-kind contributions, with flexible options to customize benefits to best align with your organization's goals.

Our vision is that every attendee leaves the Resource Fair with valuable tools, connections, and resources- and your sponsorship will play a critical role in making that vision a reality. Together, we can create a lasting impact on the health and well-being of individuals and families throughout Marquette County and the greater Upper Peninsula region.

We want to give a HUGE thank you to our incredible partners at the Marquette Food Co-op for their generous paper bag donation to support our monthly Feeding America West Michigan food distribution in KI Sawyer!

Each month, Feeding America provides several pallets of fresh, bulk produce that our team processes on-site into individual bags for families across the Upper Peninsula. Thanks to the Marquette Food Co-op's ongoing support, we have the bags we need to make this distribution possible.

Year after year, their generosity plays a vital role in helping us serve our community. We truly could not carry out these food distributions without partners like the Marquette Food Co-op.

Next time you stop in, be sure to thank them for their continued commitment to supporting Feeding America efforts right here in our community!

On Friday, June 12th, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm, we will be hosting the annual Marquette County Community Resource Fair at Lakeview Arena in Marquette, Michigan. This event is designed to connect residents with local resources that improve their everyday lives, including access to healthcare, nutrition, transportation, housing, childcare, education, employment, and more.

One of the major highlights of this event is the free haircuts we offer to attendees. We are seeking volunteer hair stylists to donate one to three hours of their time to help us make this part of the event a success. Your time and expertise will make a meaningful impact on those who may not otherwise have access to a professional haircut.
Salons that volunteer for the full 3 hours will get sponsorship recognition on our social media and event signage!

If you are interested, please message us directly!
