History
The Hispanic population in Goodhue County, MN has grown rapidly during the last decade. It was evident that the county needed programs and services that would target the needs of this growing population. That is why, in July of 2006 Hispanic Outreach was started under the auspices of Catholic Charities. A year later it became an independent organization with its fiscal agent as St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. As of January 2013, Hispanic Outreach has become entirely independent with 501 c 3 status and is dedicated to support the Hispanic community in Goodhue County. There is no other agency in Goodhue County that does the work we do.
