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.

#Bienestar
“Somos lo que dejamos en el corazón de las personas.”
Cada verano tenemos el privilegio de recorrer los campos de nuestra comunidad para encontrarnos con quienes, con su esfuerzo diario, hacen posible que los alimentos lleguen a nuestras mesas.
Hoy realizamos la última feria de recursos de la temporada. Más que entregar información o acercar servicios, estos encuentros representan una oportunidad para escuchar, acompañar y recordar a nuestros trabajadores del campo que no están solos.
Cada conversación, cada recurso compartido y cada sonrisa nos recuerda que el verdadero impacto no se mide solo en el número de personas atendidas, sino en la confianza que construimos y en la esperanza que sembramos.
Este trabajo es posible gracias a las organizaciones, voluntarios, patrocinadores y donantes que creen en nuestra misión y deciden invertir en el bienestar y la dignidad de nuestra comunidad. Su apoyo nos permite llegar hasta donde más se necesita y transformar vidas, una familia a la vez.
Gracias a cada aliado que caminó a nuestro lado durante esta temporada. Juntos demostramos que cuando una comunidad se une para servir, el impacto perdura mucho después de que termina la jornada.
Porque al final, somos lo que dejamos en el corazón de las personas.

#Wellness
“We are defined by what we leave in the hearts of others.”
Every summer, we have the privilege of visiting local farms to connect with the hardworking individuals who help put food on our tables through their dedication and perseverance.
Today, we held the final resource fair of the season. More than providing information and access to services, these visits are an opportunity to listen, offer support, and remind our farmworkers that they are seen, valued, and never alone.
Every conversation, every resource shared, and every smile reminds us that true impact is not measured only by the number of people we serve, but by the trust we build and the hope we help cultivate.
This work is made possible by the organizations, volunteers, sponsors, and donors who believe in our mission and choose to invest in the well-being and dignity of our community. Your support allows us to reach those who need us most and create meaningful change—one person, one family, and one community at a time.
Thank you to every partner who stood alongside us throughout this season. Together, we are proving that when a community comes together to serve, the impact lasts far beyond a single day.
Because in the end, we are defined by what we leave in the hearts of others.
