About
WCC, affiliated with the Winters Hispanic Advisory Committee, is guided by the needs of our community, especially the underserved and immigrant communities’ essential needs for housing, citizenship, and overcoming language barriers and other barriers to success. We advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves including students, displaced families, and families that need assistance with education and childcare.
Our Story
Since 2005, the city of Winters has had a Hispanic Advisory Committee that has worked to provide bilingual counter support at City Hall, bilingual recreation leaders, an increase in affordable housing and first time home buyer assistance, legal support for those who wish to become citizens, scholarships to families who need childcare services, STEM internships for high school students, and to organize and host Winters Annual Festival de la Comunidad and Carnitas Cook-Off. In 2021, key members of the Hispanic Advisory Committee created Winters Community Corazón, a non-profit, to handle the Committee’s charitable work and to facilitate tax-free donations. We are a small organization with limited funds and welcome opportunities to celebrate Latino culture and help make our community a more welcoming place.
