SACA

SACA's mission is to uplift and restore marginalized communities through human, economic, and social services, while supporting cultural identities.

Over the last 49 years SACA has been a consistent and stable source for help and support for two generations of Latinos seeking a better life. With an expanding scope of services, connections to the larger human services community, and bilingual services to help ease the transition, SACA has provided a source of comfort to individuals and families when they needed it most.

SACA services include:

• Senior meals
• Adult Education
• Bilingual information and referral services to help identify resources
• Employment services to create financial stability
• Bilingual case management services to help navigate the system
• A community lunch kitchen for individuals who otherwise would not have a daily meal
• Translation services
• Education for drug and alcohol prevention
• Drug and alcohol treatment
• Mental health services
• Neighborhood revitalization
• The Luis Munoz Martin Senior Citizen Center as an official Lancaster County Office of Aging Senior Center

SACA is a source of pride and reliability in the community and its impact has been felt both in local neighborhoods and the wider City of Lancaster. A notable contribution was the work of dedicated SACA volunteers to create SACA Development Corporation in 1984 and its successful accomplishments in neighborhood revitalization, the creation of equity wealth through home ownership and economic development.

Another invaluable community resource that arose from SACA is SACA Broadcasting Corporation, long recognized for its bilingual public radio broadcasting throughout Lancaster and York counties.
