Servicios Latinos of Burlington County
provides social services to the Hispanic community. Burlington
County has approximately 27,782 Hispanic residents. Approximately
1/3 reside in Greater Mount Holly (Mt. Holly, Westampton, Lumberton
and Eastampton). We assist our clients with any needs they may
have, which may include help in paying bills, taxes, assistance
with interpreting letters they receive, seeking employment,
seeking housing, and any kind of translation or interpreting
assistance they may need. We also provide ESL classes, health,
immigration services, etc. The agency provides assistance in
educating the Hispanic community in Burlington County about
the area in which they live. We also try to bring the Hispanics
in the community together with the other residents to bridge
the gap between the English and Spanish speaking citizens in
the community.
Servicios Latinos hosts a number of events throughout
the year including an annual Health Fair (which was the
first Hispanic Health Fair in Burlington County),
Hispanic Heritage Concert, Christmas Toy Drive and
Children’s Party( Three Kings Celebration), Thanksgiving
turkey distribution for needy families, Immigration
workshops and the Mt. Holly Gardens Clean-up Day.
Our Mission
The mission of the agency is to advance the Hispanic
population of Burlington County by providing individual
clients with assistance in translation and in the
securing education, employment, housing, transportation,
health and other related services.
As Burlington County’s
Spanish-speaking population increased, established
Hispanic residents recognized that new residents needed
help to penetrate linguistic, cultural and social
barriers to access available services and achieve their
highest potential. Servicios Latinos is accomplishing
its mission by identifying the specific needs of
Hispanic individuals and families and responding to
those needs with flexibility and strength.
