We envision Latino and immigrant workers and families having equal opportunities to thrive in Ohio.
At HOLA Ohio, we are creating something rare for Northeast Ohio: a morning dedicated to celebrating the diversity, richness, and warmth of Mexican culture.
SUNDAY BRUNCH UNPLUGGED with Carlos and Charlos is your chance to reconnect, enjoy authentic flavors, and get lost in live acoustic music within a truly intimate setting.
HOLA Ohio is a Latino-serving Non-profit in Northeast Ohio.
HOLA Ohio was founded in 1999 as a grassroots organization to assist and advocate for northeast Ohio’s growing Hispanic community. Farmworkers from Mexico and Puerto Rico came to the area to work in horticultural nurseries and settled here with their families.
On May 5, 2022, HOLA celebrated the grand opening of its new Hispanic Community Center, a $2.1 million project that rehabilitated a blighted structure in Painesville, a city that is now nearly one-third Hispanic. The center offers free programs and services to support the Latino community.

Our Legacy
Solidarity in Our Origins
In the mid-90s, we began as a dedicated group of women (Hispana Organizadas de Lake y Ashtabula) focused on providing a support network for newly arrived immigrants.
Presence in the Fields
Our work started on the front lines, visiting labor camps and agricultural fields to advocate for the dignity and rights of migrant workers.
Tireless Advocacy
For over 30 years, we have been a voice against injustice, ensuring fair wages and providing crucial resources to those who harvest our food and build our communities.
Statewide Impact
What began as a local grassroots initiative has grown into a vital force for the Latino community, driving equity and inclusion across the entire state of Ohio.
