Pop-Up Care Village Events
March 5, 2022*, LavaLove® will host a Pop-Up Care Village (PUCV) for the homeless in Newark, NJ, a city hit hard during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a high rate of low-income households, minorities with undiagnosed and untreated chronic disease, and – homelessness. Pop-Up Care Villages (PUCV) supplement, as a one-stop entry point to transactional services and resources that would otherwise be inaccessible to those living on the streets or housed in shelters, made possible through relationships with partnering organizations and medical facilities within Newark and surrounding areas.
