APIFM’s Community Health Workers (CHW) actively engages with the Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander (NHPI) community in Los Angeles County through food distribution, health education and healthy eating tips.

Community Wellness through Immunization Education and Resources

By working with faith and community based organizations in Long Beach, Compton, Carson, Inglewood, and other neighborhoods in Los Angeles, our CHWs aim to provide information and access to services that address community health needs, especially those that arose with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

APIFM’s CHWs have implemented various activities in the South Bay such as taste tests that highlight culturally relevant produce and recipes for healthy eating during food distributions.
