2019 Annual Report
This was our first full year in our new facility at the St. Claire Building of the AMITA Health Saint Joseph Hospital campus. We were able to get a much needed new phone system and expanded internet service, thanks to the generosity of our donors. With the State of Illinois in better fiscal condition, we had a steady flow of income for programs such as the New Americans Initiative (NAI), Immigrant Family Resource Program (IFRP), the Illinois Immigrant Welcoming Center services and Parenting Classes. We also relied on the funding from both the Hanover and Elgin Townships and local foundations such as the Grand Victoria Foundation, and EFS Foundation as well as the United Way North-Northwest. We were also blessed to have 114 volunteers that contributed more than 4,212 hours of service. With everyone’s help, Centro provided services to more than 13,000 individuals this year as we continued to “empower Hispanics with the ability to effectively integrate into our greater community through the facilitation of information, citizenship and well-being.”
