Description of Organization
Gads Hill Center is an award winning, multi-service, family resource organization that has served the Pilsen community since 1898. Throughout the past century, Gads Hill Center has provided timely and critically needed programs to low-income families and individuals from all age groups, and has worked in close collaboration with many of our community's schools and social service organizations. Serving as a port of entry community, Pilsen has been the first home to successive immigrant groups; and for the last several decades, home to primarily low-income Latino immigrants, most of whom are of Mexican heritage.
