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.

Hoy celebramos un paso lleno de esperanza para nuestra comunidad. La Governor Tina Kotek firma 8 leyes de inmigración que reflejan el poder de la unidad, el compromiso y la voz de nuestra gente durante la Sesión Legislativa Corta de 2026.
Este logro pertenece a cada familia trabajadora y a cada persona que ha hecho de Oregon su hogar. Hoy celebramos el progreso, la dignidad y las oportunidades que siguen creciendo para todos.
Seguimos avanzando con fe, con fuerza y con esperanza.

“Busca personas que te inspiren y te impulsen; construye alianzas basadas en una visión compartida.”
El segundo evento de Alianza Latina—El Carnaval de la Cultura Latina—reunió a nuestra comunidad en Hall Elementary School en colaboración con diversas organizaciones. Juntos creamos un espacio para celebrar nuestra fortaleza, resiliencia y cultura, mientras nos apoyamos mutuamente en estos tiempos desafiantes.
Rodeados de comida, música, arte, risas, juegos y recursos comunitarios, celebramos lo que más nos une: nuestra identidad compartida y nuestra fuerza colectiva.
Extendemos nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a todas las organizaciones que hicieron posible esta colaboración:
