    Ringing in the New Year After 35 Years of Service

    ECMHSP has grown so much since the Leadership Conference of Women Religious and Sister Geraldine O’Brien founded the first Head Start center for farmworker families on the east coast in Palatka, Florida. Since those humble beginnings, we have expanded up the east coast, providing more than 200,000 farmworker children with an opportunity to learn and play. Children enrolled in ECMHSP’s Head Start program receive dental exams and immunizations. What’s the secret to our success?

    Farmworker Families Need DAPA & DACA+

    More than 4,000 people wait outside of the Supreme Court building during the oral arguments of DAPA and DACA+.
