Mission Statement
OUR MISSION Amigos de Guadalupe creates a vibrant, self-sustaining Mayfair community by ensuring that the basic needs of our community and families are met, delivering high-quality educational programs, and activating and mobilizing for advocacy.
Description
Amigos de Guadalupe Center for Justice and Empowerment (Amigos) was born out of a vision to break the cycle of poverty in the neighborhood comprising Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish. The Paris has been a strong and stable presence in the Mayfair community since 1952 when it was first established as a mission. Reflecting its mission roots, the Parish has consistently responded to the needs of the community - initiating a job training program, establishing a credit union, running a food pantry, starting a health clinic and organizing local residents to self-advocate. That spirit of mission continues today.
