In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, Power Home Remodeling announced the expansion of its network of nonprofit partners in the League of United Latin American Citizens — the nation’s largest and oldest Latino civil rights organization.

POWER is granting $100,000 to the nonprofit, deepening its commitment to the diverse communities where it operates, the company said in a September 19 news release.

As part of the company’s Power for Good commitment, each of POWER’s employee resource groups (ERGs) was allowed to select a national nonprofit addressing an important issue to their respective communities.

POWER’s ERG dedicated to the Latino community — called “Mi Gente” or “my people” in Spanish — chose to partner with LULAC, creating change in economic advancement, educational attainment, political influence, housing, health and civil rights for the Latino population.

“At POWER, we’re intentional about partnering with organizations that embody our values, and passionate about putting our employees in the driver’s seat to make that decision,” said POWER’s Vice President of Community Impact, Dr. Anu Gupta.

“When Mi Gente decided to team up with LULAC, we knew we were partnering with an organization committed to improving the experience for the Latino community in our country,” Gupta added.

POWER’s Mi Gente ERG members will spearhead volunteerism and other give-back initiatives with LULAC annually, which kicked off with a ‘Family Fun Day & Health Fair’ in San Antonio on September 21.

“The progress LULAC has made in improving the lives of Latinos across the U.S. wouldn’t be possible without partners like POWER whose values align with our own,” said Roman Palomares, LULAC chairman and national president.

“Thanks to their support, we’ll have the opportunity to raise awareness, provide essential health services, and unite the community in improving overall health outcomes, contributing to real and meaningful change for members of the Latino community across the country,” Palomares continued.
