Mano a Mano Family Resource Center
The organization is a result of a partnership between local legislators, community leaders, and law enforcement who witnessed a significant need for the local growing immigrant community at the time to have linguistically and culturally relevant supportive services. Mano a Mano offers a variety of resources and services, including health resources, educational classes and workshops, and immigration legal services. Its focus is on helping the hardest-to-reach and most vulnerable families and individuals in the community.
HACES began as an idea in the minds of our two founding community leaders (Mario Peña and María Elena Jonas) who heeded the overwhelming pleas for help from the hundreds of immigrant families they were serving at the beginning of their mission in the early 1990’s. HACES was created in 2005 to help address the wide ranging issues of the community, including immigration, poverty, healthcare and education.
