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 semana pasada, nuestro increíble equipo SUN en Clear Creek Middle School organizó una hermosa Noche de Pintura para Padres de Familia, donde las familias disfrutaron de una experiencia de pintura paso a paso en un espacio tranquilo y acogedor. Con música relajante, bocadillos y bebidas, y cuidado infantil disponible, las familias pudieron realmente relajarse y dejar fluir su creatividad.
Fue maravilloso ver a los padres descansar, conectarse y compartir risas. Muchos nos comentaron cuánto apreciaron tener un espacio solo para ellos — ¡y que ya están esperando la próxima!
🎨✨ ️ Acompáñenos en nuestra próxima Noche de Pintura el 19 de marzo, de 6:00 a 7:30 PM en Clear Creek — ¡esta vez estaremos pintando con pinturas al óleo!
¡Estamos emocionados de crear con ustedes!

Last week, our amazing SUN team at Clear Creek Middle School hosted a beautiful Parent Paint Night, where parents enjoyed a step-by-step painting experience in a calm and welcoming space. With peaceful music playing, snacks and drinks provided, and childcare available, families were able to truly relax and get creative.
It was wonderful to see parents unwind, connect, and share laughter together. Many told us how much they appreciated having a space just for them — and that they’re already looking forward to the next one!
🎨✨ Join us for our next Paint Night on March 19th from 6:00–7:30 PM at Clear Creek — this time we’ll be painting with oil paints!
We can’t wait to create with you!
