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.

“La Colaboración es la danza armoniosa de mentes y corazones unidos.”
Con alegria hoy presentamos el primer evento de “Alianza Latina” “Cocina y Cuidado” en colaboración con varias organizaciones unimos fuerzas para apoyar a nuestra comunidad y crear un espacio alegre y seguro y disfrutar de nuestra cultura y tradiciones culinarias.
Un rico caldito como en casa, calditos de varios países y sabores que nos volvieron a recordar que somos familia, nos lleno el corazon con esos recuerdos que apapachan el alma.
Entre comida, risas, musica, arte, memorias y recursos comunitarios festejamos la union y la resiliencia de nuestra comunidad.

“Collaboration is the harmonious dance of minds and hearts united.”
With great joy, today we present the first “Alianza Latina” event, “Cocina y Cuidado.” In collaboration with several organizations, we joined forces to support our community and create a joyful and safe space to celebrate and enjoy our culture and culinary traditions.
A warm, homemade-style soup—calditos from different countries and flavors—reminded us that we are family. It filled our hearts with memories that comfort and nourish the soul.
Through food, laughter, music, art, memories, and community resources, we celebrated the unity and resilience of our community.
Many thanks to all the organizations that joined this collaboration.
