Mano a Mano Family Resource Center
Since 2019, Mano a Mano Family Resource Center has been a critical partner for Schreiber Philanthropy on immigrant justice work in Lake County and beyond. Mano a Mano, which is focused on empowering immigrant families to become full participants in their communities, has been an invaluable resource for families and other community-based organizations. In addition to their community-centric programming, which focuses on health education, democracy in action, and productive parenting, Mano a Mano has stepped up during times of crisis to support community members. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mano a Mano launched the TANDA fund, focused on providing immediate assistance to empower people to take care of their families and meet their basic needs. They’ve also been a critical resource in the wake of the Highland Park 4th of July parade shooting, and they recently stepped up to coordinate support services for recent arrivals. Mano a Mano’s focus on human dignity and empowerment through education is deeply aligned with Schreiber Philanthropy’s mission.
