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 nuestra Directora de Educación y Bienestar Comunitario, María Monroy Mota.
Participando en la Conferencia "Seguiremos Sanando" de Familias en Acción con su taller:
"Bienestar Social y Emocional entre los Adultos Mayores Latino"
Este taller destaca cómo el bienestar social y emocional son fundamentales para un envejecimiento saludable, aunque con frecuencia son aspectos que se pasan por alto en las conversaciones sobre el cuidado de los adultos mayores. Nuestro taller explora el bienestar social y emocional entre las personas mayores, enfocándose en la conexión, el propósito, el sentido de pertenencia y la resiliencia emocional como componentes esenciales de una salud integral.
Gracias María y su equipo por seguir compartiendo por el bien de nuestra comunidad.

Today, our Director of Education and Community Wellness, María Monroy Mota, participated in the “Seguiremos Sanando” conference hosted by Familias en Acción with her workshop:
“Social and Emotional Wellness Among Latino Older Adults”
This workshop highlights how social and emotional wellness are fundamental to healthy aging, although they are often overlooked in conversations about elder care. Our workshop explores social and emotional wellness among older adults, focusing on connection, purpose, belonging, and emotional resilience as essential components of holistic health.
Thank you to María and her team for continuing to share knowledge and support for the well-being of our community.
