1 in 6 kids goes hungry every day
in North Carolina.
School meals for all can help.


No child should go hungry. Every child in every public school in North Carolina should have access to breakfast and lunch at school at no cost to their families.


We believe that together we can improve student outcomes and build strong, resilient communities by making no-cost school meals available to all students in public schools.

Hola Carolina focuses on sharing more comprehensive perspectives and experiences that give us a richer connection to our community. We are committed to unearthing and sharing more inclusive stories that haven’t been previously told.

 

Hola Carolina Executive Director Adriana Chavela named the WLOS News13 "Person of the Week" for her advocacy and support of the Latino community.

Hola Carolina is pleased to announce that it has received a grant to support Equity in Health for Immigrant Communities in Western North Carolina.

Hola Carolina is building bridges between cultures and celebrating the diversity of our community.

Lets Build Something Amazing

Working in communities with the most need, we build healthy environments and help empower the Latino community to create lasting change that continues for generations. Our programs focus on health education, empowerment and communications to provide our community a path to success and a chance to envision a future we never thought possible.

We believe that every culture has a history and tradition to honor. This common thread allows us to communicate across cultures in a universal language and understand one another in a different way.

MOVEMENTS MOVE MOUNTAINS

We envision a world where movements have transformed power and privilege for a few into equity and equality for all.

Why healthy behaviors?

The Latino community often has greater health problems and are more likely to suffer from preventable diseases because of lack of access to proper treatment. Health issues are often the main factor plunging families further into poverty.

Our programs teach healthy behaviors, including good hygiene and proper nutrition, and provide access to health care and dental clinics at our community events and life-changing community centers.

Why empowerment?

The story of Latinos in our community is a long one, filled with tradition, innovation and inspiration. Latinos, of course, are not homogenous. Made up of different races and nationalities, and with vastly different histories. One thing Latinos have in common is the challenges we face.

Our programs foster social responsibility through leadership, life skills, entrepreneurship and employment-training workshops, so members of our community are empowered to make an impact in their communities.

Why communications?

Hola Carolina fills the gap in news information, combats misinformation and improves communication for the Spanish-speaking community.

Our work helps our community understand the presence, contributions and challenges of Latino families in the Carolinas. Our diverse outreach and public awareness programs inform, educate, enlighten and enrich the Spanish-speaking community.

It’s about impact, goodness, and being the change you want to see.

Join our incredible community of donors building bridges between cultures and embracing the diversity of our community. They’re world changer and history makers – people like you, from around the world, giving anything they can to prove how unstoppable we are when we work together.
