Introducing Baby Oliver!
Earlier this month, our marketing manager and Baila director went on maternity leave to give birth to Oliver. We couldn’t be more ecstatic to welcome the new addition to the family.

Welcome Grecia

Help us welcome Grecia Rodriguez to HFF. Grecia is originally from the Chicago area but has been calling Nashville her home since the age of 13. She came to HFF after working 6 years at ThriftSmart. Also, Grecia has worked closely with the Ballet Folklorico Mexicano group in Nashville. She brings with her years of experience in the non-profit community, and will be helping manage new programs.

HiSet

When the YWCA Literacy Center reached out to us to be one of our partners we knew that it will be successful, but never expected it to be this way, Latinos know that getting a high school equivalence diploma will help them get better jobs and from an expected 15 students we ended up having almost 100 with two waiting lists. We advertised our programs on our Facebook page and also on AM Radio Ranchera. The moment we posted the information on Facebook we received over 200 calls from people interested in the program. We are excited to provide successful opportunities for economic mobility and integration. Please share or use this link to sign up.
