El Centro has helped the Lancaster Community since 1982. A lot has changed since then, but our motivation to help those in need is the same. We have provided many different programs in the last 34 years to help the Latino/Hispanic Community around us.
To keep providing this work, we need your help. About two years ago El Centro created a great program called Grow El Centro. With this program you can donate as little as $5 a month. With this program, you can even set up an auto-donation so that you don't have to remember to write a check each month. To learn more about this program and how you can donate in other ways, please visit : http://www.elcentrodelasamericas.org/donate |
