Who We Are
Centro de Información is a place where our Latino community has felt safe, understood, and supported for more than 50 years. We are a not-for-profit social services agency that provides bilingual advocacy at our locations in Elgin, Carpentersville, and Hanover Park for thousands of immigrants every year. Centro serves mostly low-income, Hispanic immigrants residing in the greater Fox Valley area, but we welcome clients of any nationality from surrounding counties and states.
