Hispanic Leadership Advisory Council (HLAC)

Did You Know?...
Hispanic-Americans make up 49% of Elizabeth's population and 25% of Plainfield's population?

The HLAC is focused on ensuring that members of the Hispanic community have full access to United Way's network of programs and services as well as assessing and addressing critical health and human service needs. 

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, United Way of Greater Union County hosted a kick off event, "Creating New Partnerships for the Future of Latinos in Union County." Keynote speaker for the evening was Luis Diaz, Esq., President & CEO of United States Hispanic Advocacy Association (USHAA).

Funds raised will help support the establishment of the Elizabeth Hispanic Family Support Center. Visit our flickr page to view pictures from the event: http://www.flickr.com/photos/liveunited/sets/72157622696950612/
