Volunteer Picnic!

Last weekend Casa Latina held its annual volunteer picnic, during which we honor all of the many volunteers that offer so much of their time and energy to keep our programs going! The group gathered at Meridian Park on Sunday afternoon. Good times for all! See a note from Gloria Coronado, the president of our board, below:

"This year’s CASA Latina volunteer picnic was a great success. Nearly 15 staff, constituents, and board members gathered to acknowledge and honor the contributions of the many volunteers that have helped make the programs of CASA Latina a beacon for the Latino immigrant community. Upwards of 20 volunteers were honored for their role in a variety of program activities. This included their assistance with child care for the Burien-based women’s program, their role re-claiming unpaid wages for hard-working families, their support teaching English to monolingual speakers, and their time and effort leant managing the day labor and domestic workers programs. The best part for me was the conversations I had with both volunteers and program constituents. It reminded me that volunteers form the fabric of the programs that CASA Latina offers, making what we do that much more valuable to the families we serve."

A BIG thank you to all of our wonderful
volunteers!!
