FRESNO, Calif (FOX26) \u2014 FOX26 and the Central California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of community leaders, leaders like Angelita Echeveste.<\/p>\n
Angelita is the director of a neighborhood resource center, who grew up working in the fields with her parents.<\/p>\n
“My mom\u2019s from Michoacan, Mexico, my dad\u2019s from Guanajuato,” said Angelita.<\/p>\n
She says she is dedicated to helping her community. “I am working here because I get to help people like me,” she said. <\/p>\n
The center offers mental health programming, therapy for children, family services, home visiting services, and parenting classes.<\/p>\n
“They come in at the most difficult time in their life,” she explained, noting the center’s role in providing hope to those facing challenges like losing their home or lacking access to essentials. <\/p>\n
Reflecting on her father’s advice, she said, “When you\u2019re on top or as you\u2019re going, if you don\u2019t turn around to extend your hand to someone else, there\u2019s no value in that.” <\/p>\n
She also expressed gratitude for her work, saying, “I get to do what I love every day, and I get to be paid for it. Who gets that?!?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRESNO, Calif (FOX26) \u2014 FOX26 and the Central California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce celebrate the history, culture, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14076,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[12539,12540,5864,12545,12543,112,114,113,12541,12542,12544],"class_list":["post-14075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fresno","tag-angelita-echeveste","tag-community-leadership","tag-community-support","tag-cultural-contributions","tag-family-services","tag-fresno","tag-fresno-headlines","tag-fresno-news","tag-hispanic-chamber","tag-mental-health-programming","tag-neighborhood-resource-center"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14075"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14075\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
