Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Our mission is to promote the rights of every person, especially the families most disadvantaged in our country; such as the elderly, children, single mothers, individuals with a functional disability; since everyone deserves to enjoy a dignified and full life with equal opportunities to transform society, eradicate poverty and hunger.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Our mission is to promote the rights of every person, especially the families most disadvantaged of our country; such as the elderly, children, single mothers, individuals with a functional disability; since everyone deserves to enjoy a dignified and full life with equal opportunities to transform society, eradicate poverty and hunger.

  • VEGA BAJA, PUERTO RICO - LOCAL IMPACT WITH GLOBAL HEART: At our campus in Vega Baja, we're not just responding to crisis - we're building something sustainable, local, and full of dignity. COMMUNITY FARM: We grow organic fruits and vegetables year-round on our community farm, led by local farmers and volunteers. These harvests go directly into our meals and our market - feeding our people, honoring our land, and reclaiming food sovereignty. SOCIAL KITCHEN: In our Cocina Social, we cook more than 850 meals every week, all made with love and local produce. These meals are delivered directly to the homes of elderly people living in poverty - because no one should grow old and grow hungry. SOLIDARITY MARKET: Every Thursday, our Colmado Solidario opens its doors to the most vulnerable. It's not a handout - it's a place of choice, dignity, and care. Our participants take what they need, receive health services, and participate in wellness workshops designed to extend their quality of life. A MOVEMENT ROOTED IN DIGNITY What we're building here is more than a charity - it's a movement. Powered by local workers, sustained by donors and volunteers, and deeply rooted in our belief that honra y dignidad should be the foundation of how we treat our elders.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
