Los Puentes (The Bridges)
Los Puentes, meaning “The Bridges,” is Fisherman’s Mark’s dedicated initiative to connect and empower our Latino neighbors through advocacy, education, trusted resources, and cultural support.
What began as an effort to provide safety and reassurance has grown into a broad community resource offering English language classes, college guidance, identification services, tax assistance, legal education, and other supports that strengthen stability, confidence, and belonging.
Nearly 40% of Fisherman’s Mark program participants identify as Latino, making Los Puentes an essential part of how we serve our community.
