Fostering self-sufficiency, empowerment, and neighborhood revitalization since 1972.

About La Casa de Don Pedro La Casa de Don Pedro is a community-based development cor-poration and provider of comprehensive services that has been working with and serving residents of greater Newark, New Jer-sey since 1972. La Casa’s community organizing and child advo-cacy work serve as a powerful foundation for its comprehensive social service delivery system. Programs promote family well-being, healthy child development, educational achievement, em-ployment opportunities, homeownership, financial self-sufficiency, energy conservation, and neighborhood renewal. Its strong links to the community, comprehensive service pro-grams, and collaborations within a defined neighborhood are unique assets and opportunities that will continue to ensure the agency’s relevance to future generations.

Dear Friend of La Casa,

In 1972, as the dust of the riots settled and

Newark’s rebirth was under way, a group of concerned Newark immigrant families made a decision that would have a long lasting im-pact. They founded La Casa de Don Pedro as a means to foster self-sufficiency and em-powerment for an often overlooked commu-nity. Thirty nine years later, the La Casa family has grown substantially, but the fundamental goal of the founders remains vital: identifying the community’s needs and working collectively to meet them. Today, as we cele-brate the milestone of La Casa’s 40th Anniversary, we turn to you as an important friend and partner, and invite you to engage with us in the celebration and at the same time support an important cause. This booklet describes the five 40th Anniversary events com-mencing this November, and offers a variety of ways to support La Casa de Don Pedro. As always, any funds raised beyond the cost to support these events will contribute to La Casa’s network of comprehensive programs. From all of us at La Casa, thank you for your support!
