One-stop community hub offers free services in North Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – A one-stop community hub offering free services, including health, education, and legal support to Southern Nevada residents, opened its doors on Tuesday in North Las Vegas.
The Dolores Huerta Resource Center is named after the well-known labor activist and co-founder of the United Farm Workers Association. The center is expected to serve more than 2,000 residents annually and offers services in both English and Spanish.
Services will also include free educational classes, health services, legal workshops, technology training, workforce development courses, and cultural events.
'It's more than a building – it's a vital resource for our community, one that will continue the legacy of empowerment and inclusion championed by its namesake, Dolores Huerta,' North Las Vegas Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown said.
The center was funded in part through $1.6 million in federal Community Project Funding.
'As the largest minority-majority city in Nevada, we recognize North Las Vegas residents have a wide range of unique needs,' Director of Community Services and Engagement Wilson Ramos said. 'By bringing critical resources under one roof, we're breaking down barriers and creating pathways for North Las Vegas families to thrive.'
The Just One Project, a local non-profit organization known for its innovative solutions to food insecurity and housing support, operates the center. Several other non-profit organizations will also help serve community needs at the center.
The Dolores Huerta Resource Center, which is located at 1737 Hunkins Drive near Lake Mead Boulevard and Civic Center, is open Monday through Saturday from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.
