Having the knowledge and resources to start a food-based business can be life-changing for aspiring entrepreneurs and their families, so when the COVID-19 pandemic hit Oregon, we knew we had to continue offering the course.

Adelante Mujeres is joining forces with Washington County to become one of four Business Recovery Centers aimed at providing businesses in Washington County, Oregon with COVID-19 relief support.

Graduation season looked pretty different this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but graduates of our Early Childhood Education Program (ECE Program) were each treated to a mini social distancing graduation celebration. See the photos!

The Chicas program dedicated all of their time during the first couple weeks of the quarantine time period to find ways to connect with their beloved Chicas and their families. After many meetings of brainstorming the best ways to reach out, connect and support the girls, the beauty of social media engagement and virtual Chicas sessions were born.

The Leadership and Advocacy Team will be taking a Day of Action to show up for our beloved brothers and sisters. We will be holding this tomorrow, 06/03/2020 ALL DAY. We ask that you help us share this Day of Action and participate with us.

Adelante Mujeres is currently working to distribute vouchers for families to purchase local foods at farmers markets throughout Washington County. Learn more!

The Oregon Work Relief Fund provides direct cash assistance to immigrant Oregonians who are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and are excluded from federal and state safety-nets. Adelante Mujeres is honored to be part of the many culturally-specific organizations who will be supporting community members through this process.

During times of crisis like these, we are reminded to also take a step back and count our blessings. Thank you to our leading supporters: Legacy Health, Wells Fargo Bank, First Tech Credit Union, and CareOregon for your true heart and philanthropy.

For many people, staying healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic is accomplished by social distancing and working from home. But what about essential workers who can’t stay home — people who have to keep working in order to keep food on their family’s table? This is what Leobardo López and Alma Hernandez are currently facing.

COVID-19 is here. We are sheltering-in-place, our building is closed, and all in-person classes have temporarily come to a halt. But our team (from the comfort of their homes) are working harder than ever to meet the growing need to support the women and families we serve. Here are four ways the Adelante Mujeres team is changing the way they work in order to support families during this crisis.

Due to increased public health concerns raised by COVID-19, we’ve decided to cancel Fiesta of Hope. We’re sad about this decision but feel it is best to ensure the safety and health of our guests, volunteers, staff and community.

The time has finally come for the unveiling of our much-awaited Chicas Makerspace! With our friends from First Tech Federal Credit Union, we hosted a small “soft opening” of the new Markerspace.

This week, 25 aspiring entrepreneurs graduated from our Empresas Small Business Development course! Congratulations to the graduates!

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.

These days it’s difficult to avoid what has become almost a mantra in the political news:  ‘quid pro quo’. Either there was or there wasn’t ‘quid pro quo’.  This for that.  Something in return for another thing.

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

The 3rd cohort has officially graduated! Get a glimpse of the graduation festivities.
