Rockville Centre Mayor Francis Murray recently accepted an award on behalf of his mother, Mary Lou Murray, at the Hispanic Brotherhood of Rockville Centre’s Annual Scholarship Dinner
Mary Lou was awarded for her dedication to the people of Rockville Centre and specifically, the Hispanic community the brotherhood serves.
The Hispanic Brotherhood of Rockville Centre, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization established in 1984 by a small group of Latino residents in order to assist the fast growing population of immigrants from different Spanish language cultures.
The agency provides a wide range of resettlement services, an After-School Child Care and Tutorial Program, and the Hispanic Brotherhood Senior Citizen Club.
Resettlement services include housing and employment counseling (including housing referrals and job placement), translation, immigration and legal assistance, naturalization and citizenship counseling, advocacy for individuals and groups in disputes such as tenant/landlord and employer/employee, and emergency food.
