Dr. Beatriz Garces and her team have treated patients through our Sonrisa dental program. As as the Garces Dental Clinic was refitted to meet CDC guidelines, Dr. Garces resumed treating patients at the same rate, and with the same dedication, as she had before the pandemic. #dedication #covidrelief #dentalclinic#dentalcare #nonprofit #garces Garces Family Foundation

"When the coronavirus arrived in New York City a year ago, it hit enclaves of undocumented immigrants with a fury, killing thousands and wiping out the service and construction jobs that kept many families afloat." Because of your support, we launched a food pantry last April to address this very issue. Since then, we added rapid Covid-19 testing and we have continued to run our English classes and dental program. Thank you! https://www.nytimes.com//covid-relief-undocumented-workers

More than one in ten families are hungry. https://www.nytimes.com//polit/biden-hunger-programs.html

Get vaccinated! As restaurants reopen, we encourage the immigrants we love and serve to get vaccinated to help them return to work as soon as opportunities present themselves. #vaccinate #covid #immigrants #covidvaccine #garces #phillycovid

Since we are talking about brave and inspiring women, here are a few we know and love. Here is to all the women, right here and across the globe! Feliz dia de la Mujer!

That’s right, Jillian Gierke is overwhelmed by the 45 ThinkPads donated to the Foundation. Jillian created an innovative virtual education program in days after the pandemic shuttered our classes. And these laptops will make a big difference in the lives of our students. #ThinkPad #garces #immigrant #ESL #philly Bok Beatriz Mirabal Garces Garces Group

We have an army of volunteers who make our programs possible. They are among the warmest, most generous and funniest group of people I have ever met. Watch this video of our dear friend, Marko.

"I’ve seen a lot of Hispanic kitchen workers primarily as dishwashers, prep cooks, and so on. I’ve always tried to promote from within to get them into sous and executive chef positions as their skills grow. In the kitchen, we’re all on the line together." -Chef Jose Garces https://bit.ly/3ohEQxF #HispanicHeritageMonth #zagat Zagat #hispanicchefs #latinfood
