How We Impact the Community

We are dedicated to serving the Latino community through multicultural, advocacy-based programs. Our initiatives, developed by and for Latinos, make us a second home for many. Our team members are bilingual, bicultural Latinos who bring genuine empathy and lived experience to their work.

Our clients are primarily low-income, Spanish-speaking individuals working in agriculture, hospitality, wine, and food industries. Latinos in Napa Valley contribute invaluable skills, labor, and cultural richness—they are essential to our community and Napa’s success. Therefore, we strive to be an extended family, serving them with compassion, dignity, and respect so they can successfully build their lives in Napa County.

We provide culturally responsive services, directly serving an average of 3,500 individuals each year, distributing over $40,000 in food assistance, connecting more than 1,800 people to essential resources through referrals, and reaching 10,000 community members through our outreach efforts.

We connect clients to reliable resources, offer educational and cultural wellness programs, feed families, and—most importantly—build long-lasting, trusting relationships in our community.

Testimonial
