About La Comunidad Hispana (LCH)

La Comunidad Hispana celebrated 40 years of working in the community in 2013. Established in 1973 by Kennett Square residents, clergy and advocates to serve the needs of a primarily Latino population drawn to the area by jobs in the mushroom industry, LCH has grown and evolved to serve the changing needs of our community. 

Since its inception 39 years ago, La Comunidad Hispana has achieved numerous awards for its effectiveness in serving Latinos and other vulnerable populations, and has gratefully received substantial grants that have enabled the organization to grow and expand services.
