Latino’s Family Services program was established to help
meet the increasingly diverse needs of the growing Latino
population of Pierce County. Although there is an emphasis
on serving the Latino community, Centro Latino’s services
are available to any individual or family in need. Approximately
350 individuals and/or families from throughout Pierce County
receive services each month. The Family Services program strives
to provide clients with services that allow them to address
