The Latino Community Association has been awarded two grants, totaling $185,000, that will support its stability and growth.
The first is a $135,000 two-year grant from The Collins Foundation to support LCA’s program and services for Latino residents in Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties. The award provides $75,000 in 2022 and another $60,000 in 2023.
With this grant, LCA will offer connection to services and advocacy for more Latino families to help them thrive in Central Oregon.
The second award is a $50,000 grant from the Marie Lamfrom Charitable Foundation of Wilsonville, which will be used to help LCA expand its services in Redmond and Madras by adding staff and doubling its office hours at both locations.
LCA will immediately expand its office hours to four days a week in Redmond and five days a week in Madras.
Thanks to these grants, more people across Central Oregon will be able to apply for the Oregon Health Plan, participate in English, computer or citizenship classes, get connected to other LCA services and events or referred to other organizations and businesses.
LCA Redmond is located at the Becky Johnson Center, 412 SW 8th St. It’s new office hours are Monday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Tuesday-Thursday. The office’s phone number is 541-598-6316.
