The Garces Foundation provides education, dental and medical care to Philadelphia’s vibrant Spanish-speaking immigrant community. The services we provide empower these immigrants to flourish in their lives and actively contribute their talents to making Philadelphia a world-class city.

Most of our students work in restaurants. We have a very clear goal for them: to help them move from low-paying positions to greater financial security still within the food industry. Our goal with health care is just as straight-forward. We aim to be an entry point back into the system of medical care for hard-working immigrants, who are often fearful of accessing medial services in the community.
