El Centro Hispano’s mission statement specifically calls for our agency to help our families to maintain and enrich their own culture. This is accomplished every year through events that bring families together around food, typical music and traditional clothing from their countries. The events help keep alive our families’ ties to their heritage. We participated in the following events that celebrated our clients’ Hispanic heritage: the Westchester County Hispanic Heritage Day at the Kensico Dam; the Three Wise men celebration and El Día del Niño at St. Bernard’s Church.
