As we reflect on the past year (and decade!), we see what the empowerment of Latina women and families can do for a community. As the need for our programs and Latina empowerment has grown, our supporters have stepped up to give strength and sustainability to Adelante Mujeres. Whether you are a foundation, business, or individual who supports our work, it is because of you that this impact has been possible.

An exciting project is in the works for the main hallway in our new building!
