Centro Romero was founded in 1984 by Salvadoran refugees fleeing the civil war, aiding hundreds of thousands.
More than 140,000 immigrants and refugees have been assisted in just the last decade.
Less than a year ago, Centro Romero's namesake, Oscar Romero (murdered in 1980), was declared a saint by Pope Francis.
Celebrating 35 years of assistance in their 3 major programs, SAY YES - Embracing the Fabric of Our Future will help to fund their next 3 decades to come.
