It was founded by volunteers who wanted to establish a safe place for new immigrants to receive support. In the early years, La Luz offered emergency support, housing assistance, and referrals for farm workers. Today the focus is on the promotion of economic self-sufficiency and long-term stability among our community members. The programming centers around three focus areas: family services, economic advancement, and community engagement. La Luz helps individuals and families via three service types: (1) connections and support, helping clients access and navigate resources they need by way of information and referrals; (2) learning, in which the clients gain the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in life; and (3) engagement, in which they help individuals and families connect with each other, our community, and local schools through community/arts events, leadership/civic engagement, and school-based services.La Luz serves 87% of Sonoma Valley's Latino population, making it the "go to" place for local families seeking assistance in managing and improving their lives and, as a result, they are a trusted provider of community-based services. La Luz provided its services to approximately 1,640 people in 2019. 1215335 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false true true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 25 0 true 27 false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 18 18 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false true true true false false X Juan Hernandez 7079385131 17650 Greger Street Sonoma CA 95476 Juan Hernandez III Exec.
