Here in Westchester, we are proud to be home to a diverse community where culture and tradition enrich every corner of our County. At a time when national rhetoric too often seeks to divide us or diminish the strength of select communities, we stand united in Westchester.” Jenkins further encouraged residents to support local Hispanic and Latino-owned businesses, restaurants and cultural organizations throughout the month, adding, “By doing so, we not only honor this important month but also strengthen the community ties that make Westchester such a special place to call home.”
