Casa Morelia was founded in 2018 by a group of first-generation Mexican immigrants from Michoacán who recognized the need for a community space that honored their heritage while supporting the unique challenges faced by immigrant families in California.

Named after Morelia, the capital of Michoacán known for its stunning colonial architecture and rich cultural traditions, our organization has grown from a small gathering in a community center to a vibrant nonprofit serving over 2,500 families annually.

Like the monarch butterflies that migrate between Michoacán and California each year, our community members carry the beauty and resilience of their homeland while building new lives in the United States. Casa Morelia serves as a bridge between these two worlds, helping families navigate their journey while celebrating the cultural treasures they bring with them.

To empower and support the Mexican and Latino immigrant community in California through cultural preservation, education, advocacy, and community programs that honor our Michoacán heritage while fostering integration and opportunity.

A thriving community where every Mexican and Latino immigrant family has access to the resources, support, and cultural connection they need to build successful, fulfilling lives while proudly celebrating their heritage.
