Serving Our Community

For over 70 years, we have served our community. First, as a means for migrant workers to tend the fields and help build the local economy. Safe play spaces led to more formal childcare and then to expanded educational opportunities for children and teens after school and throughout the summer months.

We provide counseling, emergency assistance, social work services, and assistance with basic needs.  We offer college and career services for our teens, and workforce development opportunities to our older youth and adults.  The Center was and is a safe gathering place for all in our community.

Your generosity allows us to enrich and improve the lives of hundreds of families annually.
