Community/Hispanic Resource Center

About this Organization

​Community Resource Center (formerly Hispanic Resource Center) is a 501 (c)(3) community-based organization founded in 1998 to promote the cultural, economic, educational and professional integration of immigrants to the already established larger community and to advocate for those in need. We aim to provide the tools to prepare new immigrant families to become self-sufficient and active members of the community.

Over our 22 years in existence, we have grown from a community initiative and referral organization to one that provides comprehensive direct client services and programs.  We provide a myriad of educational programs, case management and referral services and advocate for immigrants and low-income families in need.
