The Latin Center Named AARP’s 2011 ‘Partner of the Year’: On the occasion of the Latin American Community Center’s 42nd annual Grand Ball, AARP Delaware recognized the agency as its 2011 ‘Partner of the Year’ for a commitment to advancing policy on - and educating the community about - issues affecting Delawareans over 50.

‘Mi Comunidad Abierta’ Photography Project: The Latin Center’s Prevention Promoters Program recently organized Mi Comunidad Abierta, a photography project in which participants were given disposable cameras to capture and share images from their local environment. Scenes included beautiful stories of love, perseverance, family camaraderie, and dreams for the future, as well as present concerns and challenges faced by those struggling to improve the community in which they live. A special thank you to all participants for making the project a memorable endeavor! Click here to view photos submitted.

Coat Donation from Operation Warm: On November 8, the Latin American Community Center received a total of 306 coats for children and youth ages 4-16. The donation came through Operation Warm’s annual coat drive to provide winter coats to children from low-income families who would otherwise not be able to afford them. Thank you Operation Warm!


LACC Partners Spread Holiday Cheer: Thanks to a generous donation of Thanksgiving baskets from Christ Church, Congregation Beth Emeth; the Basket Brigade; and the City of Wilmington Fire Department, 84 low-income Latino families referred by the LACC were able to enjoy a delicious meal over the holiday. Thank you partners, for helping us meet our community’s needs!

December is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month: The Prevention Promoters Program at the Latin Center invites you to join the Safe Family Holiday Campaign sponsored by the Office of Highway safety. In Delaware during the holiday season 2010, 41 people were arrested for DUI, 2 were killed and 57 were injured. Be safe this holiday season! Don’t Drink and Drive: Have a plan for holiday parties—stay over or arrange to get home with a sober designated driver or by taxi. Slow Down: With more cars on the roads (driven by rushed and distracted holiday drivers) it’s important to slow down and pay attention. Buckle Up: Always wear a seatbelt—it’s your best chance for surviving a crash. For more information please visit the Office of Highway Safety’s Website at www.ohs.delaware.gov.
