Spreading the wealth
Jesse Morales, 4, prepares to walk with his classmates in El Centro de la Raza's Cinco de Mayo fashion show at the Jefferson Community Center. Since 1972, El Centro has been a voice and resource for Seattle's Latino and low-income populations, offering tools for self-sustainability and community development. El Centro received a United Way funding increase last year for its child and senior programs.
