True Ridge

Education Program (La Promesa): We provide Hispanic students assistance and guidance with higher education needs such as college applications, FAFSA completion, RDS issues and adult continuing education. Our program extends financial assistance for both direct academic (tuition, books, supplies) and indirect costs (housing, food, transportation). In 2024, the program served approximately 113 students and provided $13,250 in direct and indirect monetary assistance.

Health Program: True Ridges health program promotes wellness through education and prevention, providing the Hispanic community with referrals for both physical and behavioral health concerns. In 2024, we made 40 behavioral health referrals for mental health. Family Immigration Program: The Family Immigration Program mission is to provide affordable immigration legal representation to residents of Western North Carolina. The program began in 2023 due to the need for low-bono immigration representation in our area. In 2024 we had 208 consultations, 200 referrals, and 200 hours of interpretation services. Our clients are 95% Hispanic, 2% European, 1% African, 1% Asian, and 1% from New Zealand
