About EPHC

El Programa Hispano's humble roots began in 1982 when a small group of outreach workers from Catholic Family Services, now Catholic Charities of Oregon, (CCO) conducted outreach to Latino migrant farmworkers in East County. In 2015 with the support of CCO, EPHC became an independent 501c3 organization. Today, EPHC serves more than 20,000 individuals annually in the areas of Economic Sustainability, Education, Community Wellness and Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault prevention, intervention, and advocacy. Our vision is a thriving Latine Community living to our fullest potential.

Although EPHC is affiliated with the Catholic Charities Network, a candidate or participant does not need to be a Catholic to work with us or to receive services. Across our programs and services staff of all faiths-or-none- work within our framework of respect for our mission and the dignity of the human person and the common good.
