[Hispanic Federation @HispanicFed]

Familia - we are happy to share part 3 of our Hispanic Heritage month series, featuring organizations from across the East Coast!

As HHM comes to a close, we want to reflect on the impact and importance of community. Without our vast network of partner organizations, Hispanic Federation would not have the reach that it does today. It is through consistent, year-round collaboration that we continue supporting the Latine community from across the United States and Puerto Rico.

Thank you to all our member agencies, partner organizations, donors and supporters for believing in our mission and our purpose. Rest assured; Hispanic Federation will always take Hispanic causes to heart. 🧡

Familia, ¡nos alegra compartir la tercera parte de nuestra serie para el Mes de la Herencia Hispana, presentando organizaciones del Este de los E.E.U.U.

A medida que cerramos este mes de celebración, queremos reflexionar sobre el impacto y la importancia de nuestra comunidad. Sin nuestra amplia red de organizaciones asociadas, la Federación Hispana no podría tener el alcance que tiene hoy. Gracias a su constante colaboración durante todo el año seguimos apoyando a la comunidad Latina de los Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico.

Agradecemos a nuestras agencias miembros, organizaciones aliadas, donadores y seguidores por creer en nuestra misión. Tengan la certeza de que la Federación Hispana siempre defenderá y apoyará las causas hispanas. 🧡 @APMforEveryone, @SCOW284 , @B1CommunityCT, @LatinoCommAIDS
