Calli: Centro Groundbreaking
​
Centro is excited to invite the community to a very special groundbreaking on February 22 at 3:00 pm. This event marks the beginning of construction for Centro’s new home and will take place at the site on the corner of Cypress Way and Hughes Place. Centro continues to fundraise to reach its $20 million campaign goal and has raised $16.4 million to date. We plan to serve at least 1,000 more community members a year in our new facility, double enrollment in our afterschool and workforce programs.

"This is a true community event". Centro Hispano to host annual Tres Reyes Magos Celebration on Saturday"
​
This will be the last time we will celebrate at our current location at 810 W. Badger Rd. and that just makes it even more meaningful and poignant. We hope to see everyone on Saturday (for toys) and Sunday (for bikes and books) at Centro, to share stories and space together. Our annual Three Kings Celebration honors community and is a celebration of the hopes and dreams of the Three Kings and our families. It’s a celebration that honors our youngest, most powerful leaders — our children.
