Our Humble Roots
How we got started
El Programa Hispano’s humble roots began in 1982 when a small group of outreach workers from Catholic Family Services, now Catholic Charities of Oregon (CCO), conducted outreach to Latino migrant farmworkers in East Multnomah County. In 2015, with the support of CCO, El Programa became an independent 501(c)3 organization. Today, we serve more than 32,000 individuals annually in the areas of Economic Sustainability, Education, Community Wellness and UNICA, our Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault prevention, intervention, and advocacy program. Our vision is a thriving Latine Community living to our fullest potential.
Although EPHC is affiliated with the Catholic Charities Network, a candidate or participant does not need to be a Catholic to work with us or to receive services. Across our programs and services, staff of all faiths or none, work within our framework of respect for our mission, a person’s dignity and the common good.

💜 Octubre: Un mes para crear conciencia, unirnos y alzar la voz
Algunos momentos de nuestra Proclamación de Octubre como Mes de Concientización sobre la Violencia Doméstica.
Este momento representa mucho más que una proclamación: representa nuestro compromiso como comunidad para promover relaciones libres de violencia, crear conciencia, apoyar a quienes han sido afectados y trabajar juntos para construir espacios donde todas las personas puedan sentirse seguras, escuchadas y respetadas.
Gracias a quienes se unieron a nosotros, a nuestros aliados, líderes comunitarios, organizaciones y a todas las personas que continúan siendo parte de esta conversación.
