Immigrant Heritage Month gives people across the United States an opportunity to explore our country’s heritage and celebrate the shared diversity that forms the unique story of America.

We are sharing stories showing the way our diverse local communities enrich our daily lives, including this feature on Henry Garcia!

Discover how Henry’s roots in El Salvador and his family's journey inspired him to build a life in Toledo—and how he now dedicates his time to helping Spanish-speaking newcomers navigate vital local resources.
