El Puente Giving

Started in 2022, El Puente is a Hispanic Community Center in Cookeville, TN. The words “El Puente” are Spanish for “the bridge.” And from its beginnings, that is what El Puente has striven to be. A bridge connecting Spanish speaking families in our area to the many resources available to them. A bridge connecting people to a community where they feel welcomed, safe, accepted, connected, and loved. And a bridge to connect the broader community of Cookeville with our Hispanic neighbors and friends.

We believe that when we all come together to support our neighbors, no matter where they come from, it makes all of us better! We hope you'll join us on this journey of building bridges into the Hispanic community.
