Helen Fabela Chavez is a name MNC is here to return to her rightful place on history’s front page! On Saturday January 27th MNC held its second annual, Helen F. Chavez Legacy Celebration. Helen, César and their eight children founded a powerful movement, later joined by many others. Without Helen there would be no Cesar Chavez, no farmworkers’ movement and therefore no history!
To honor her legacy, MNC presented SBA Regional Administrator Elmy Bermejo the Helen Fabela Chavez Legacy Award. Mayor London Breed made a special appearance and gave a warm welcome to Elmy who proudly accepted the award from Helen and Cesar Chavez’s granddaughter, Christine Chavez. Elmy and Christine offered warm and inspiring remarks. Guests were treated to a rare video of Helen F. Chavez in an interview talking about her life and experiences.

“The Legacy Award is given to an individual who mirrors the values of the legendary Helen Fabela Chavez and MNC Inspiring Success’s core beliefs. Helen Fabela Chavez was a courageous woman throughout her life as a labor leader and backbone of the Farm Workers Movement, trustworthy, dearly beloved by friends and family and supportive to people in need.”
– Richard Ybarra, CEO of MNC

The Helen Fabela Scholarship is taking applications (LINK HERE) through the Silicon Valley Foundation. This year’s donation of $63,000 smashed our goal by two and a half times the amount and raises the fund to $114,000. Next year we will feature the first Helen Fabela Chavez Scholars.
We are grateful to everyone. Shout out to sponsors, attendees and MNC volunteers! Viva Helen Fabela Chavez and her family! Special acknowledgement to MirKa Investments, our affordable housing partner, and US Bank.

Hilda Ibarra working hard on her winning design | |
|
Hilda Ibarra, one of MNC’s senior participants, won a city-wide contest with the Department of Disability and Aging Services (DAS) of San Francisco for her artwork named “San Franciscan Love”. Hilda, from Mexico, is a 54-year-old single mother of three boys. This new artwork will be used to adorn the new Disability & Aging Services Gold Cards that are provided to the clients for lunch purposes.
MNC Healthy Aging and Disability Services (HADS) has a contract to provide services to older adults, people with disabilities and veterans. Part of our service is providing hot lunchtime meals. The contest had DAS clients submit original artwork featuring their interpretation of the themes “San Francisco”, “resilience”, and/or “health”.
Congratulations to Hilda Ibarra for her beautiful artwork showing love to San Francisco!

Having tools to communicate and improve their children's lives will give parents much needed support | |
|
MNC’s Evans Campus hosted several valuable meetings for parents. There was a financial workshop from US Bank to discuss banking basics, how to open a bank account, how to save and how to open a secured and unsecured line of credit through the bank. We discussed how to bring down debt, increase credit scores and establish more control over finances. This workshop is important for parents to learn about guidelines and limitations when opening a bank account.
There was a guest speaker who talked about applying for different scholarships for colleges and universities. We also discussed challenges and options around children with Autism and how to navigate and communicate with school staff and personnel to advocate for their children to get the proper support that they need.

Blanca presents her meditative art featuring a rose and the word "Love" | |
MNC RAICES participants recently learned more about art and its healing properties. Art helps explore what is happening to us, gives us a means to express it, helps us integrate it into our life story, and allows for a certain sense of liberation.
In this activity participants did meditative painting and allowed their creativity to flow! Unlike standard meditation, meditative art emphasizes harmony using art as a medium and shouldn’t be confused with art therapy which is more about using art as a form of communication.
