Chicas Latinas de Sacramento is going on a “Winter Break” as the holiday’s come to an end.

We’re preparing for the upcoming tax season, an approved 501(c)3 nonprofit status (crossing our fingers!), opening board of director positions to the community, and planning for our 5-Year-Anniversary in April!

Our sites may become inactive, we may not return your email/call promptly, but our regular programs will continue. The best is yet to come! Please be patient with us as we lay the foundation for a great 6th year serving in the Sacramento community.

please stand by

Want to help?

  • Apply to serve on the Chicas Latinas de Sacramento Board of Directors (more information to come)
  • Chicas Latinas members, join our 5-Year-Anniversary planning committee!

Email us – 

We have functioned without a budget or staff for nearly 5 years and we’re excited for the bright future which awaits us. Imagine what a difference we’ll be able to make with increased resources. Chicas Latinas de Sacramento encourages the community to join us, Latina or not!

Our mission is to make a positive impact in both the Latin and Sacramento community by improving, connecting and embracing our culture and the community in which we call our home. (By… giving back to our community, utilizing our people and our culture to educate, inspire, and lead.)

Thank you Sacramento for your support in 2013… we’ll see you soon!!!

Chicas Latinas de Sacramento members made a special visit to the Sacramento Crisis Nursery last week. Our volunteers provided a (healthy) holiday lunch and built gingerbread houses with the children staying at the emergency crisis shelter in Sacramento (ages 0-6). The staff were also provided with a holiday treat, Starbucks gift cards!

Thank you Chicas Latinas for your donations, your time, and your giving spirit!!!

Huge thank you to everyone who helped make Chicas Latinas de Sacramento‘s Holiday Care Package for the Homeless donation drive and distribution a great success!!! We joined Sacramento community organization C.A.F.F.E. early Christmas morning and helped feed, clothe, and give Chicas’ Holiday Care Packages to the homeless – with the help of our friends, we were able to serve nearly 300 homeless this holiday season.
