About the HHC
The Andrews Hispanic Heritage Committee plays an essential role in celebrating culture, fostering unity, and enriching the community through meaningful programs and events throughout the year. Made up of dedicated volunteers and community leaders, the committee is committed to honoring Hispanic heritage while creating inclusive opportunities for residents and visitors of all backgrounds to come together. Through education, tradition, and celebration, the committee works to highlight the history, values, and contributions of Hispanic culture in Andrews.
One of the committee’s most visible efforts is hosting cultural celebrations such as Fiesta del Grito and Día de los Muertos, events that showcase traditional music, dance, food, art, and storytelling. These events not only preserve cultural traditions but also create family-friendly spaces where the entire community can learn, participate, and celebrate together. The committee carefully plans each event to ensure authenticity while making them welcoming and engaging for all ages.
Beyond festivals, the Andrews Hispanic Heritage Committee is deeply involved in community outreach and education. The group collaborates with local organizations, schools, and the Andrews Chamber to support cultural awareness initiatives, promote volunteerism, and encourage civic engagement. They also play a key role in recognizing community leaders and honoring individuals who have made a lasting impact, ensuring that local history and contributions are remembered and celebrated.
The committee’s work is driven by a strong spirit of service, pride, and collaboration. Members dedicate countless hours to planning, fundraising, and volunteering, all with the goal of strengthening community ties and creating experiences that leave a lasting impression. Through their efforts, the Andrews Hispanic Heritage Committee continues to build bridges across cultures, support local businesses, and create vibrant traditions that reflect the heart of Andrews.
