Mission Statement
Little Havana Activities and Nutrition Centers of Dade County, Inc.’s
(LHANC)
mission is to identify the need and procure the funding necessary to provide
low-income, frail, isolated elderly persons and refugees with quality
social, nutrition, and health services allowing them to continue to live at
home, albeit with some assistance and avoid early, costlier
institutionalization.
Our History
Founded in 1972 with only
three employees and a small office, the Little Havana Activities and
Nutrition Centers of Dade County, Inc. has grown into one of the largest
providers of services to economically disadvantaged and socially isolated
persons in South Florida.
