Throughout the day, we welcomed over 400 newcomers, offering support and resource information that meets their needs. This high level of engagement underlines LEF's strong brand presence and the significant demand for newcomer support services.

The event also provided a valuable opportunity for LEF to connect with peer organizations, fostering relationships and potential partnerships aimed at improving client welfare. The continuous activity at our booth highlighted the effectiveness of our outreach and the community's recognition of LEF as a key organization for community development.
