HistoryThe Welcome Center, Inc. is a 501 (c)3 non-profit, tax-exempt corporation founded in June 2000. It organized by a group of concerned citizens who saw a dramatic change in the area's work force and demographic composition. Recognizing that the change could produce friction and divisiveness or be the basis for a new and inclusive culture, the founders developed the Welcome Center. With the primary financial support from the Hormel Foundation, and additional commitments of local government, businesses, United Way of Mower County, and other founders, the Center began operations.SpecialtiesThe Welcome Center serves the City of Austin as the community's multi-cultural center, building community by welcoming newcomers, supporting residents in transition and creating access and opportunity.
