When we talk about building Latina leaders at Adelante Mujeres, this is a perfect example of what we mean. Elvira participated in our Nourish the Community Program and now she is a strong community leader who now runs a food pantry, providing food to families in need during the current COVID-19 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.

At Adelante Mujeres, we are always telling the stories of the women and families that we serve because stories have the power to create change and open minds.

That’s why we are proud to support the upcoming event DREAMs Deferred Live, and we hope you join us!

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!
