About Us

Conexión Latina Newport was founded in 2019 by four local women who were frustrated by the injustices faced by Newport’s ever growing Hispanic population and the lack of resources available to them. A survey of local residents showed Hispanics were not accessing social service agencies for help, and not involved in civic life. The COVID pandemic shut down the city and paralyzed the service industry, which is almost single-handedly supported by Hispanic workers. CLN mobilized to provide food and grocery gift cards to over 200 households in six weeks. Additional grant funding was made available to help support the most vulnerable members in our community through these difficult times. We continue to identify gaps in services and have partnered with community groups to build their programs to be more accessible and to build trust with families to access these badly needed services.

CONNECTING THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY IN NEWPORT
