Providing comprehensive support services to all members of the Vieques community affected by the challenges of poverty.

  • Prioritizing the elderly population aged 60 and above, particularly those facing issues such as inadequate daily nutrition, physical or mental illnesses, bedridden conditions, a lack of access to proper medical care, and a need for caregiver attention to ensure their well-being.

  • Enhancing the capability and resilience of elderly residents in poverty by addressing the root causes and sources of their economic challenges.

  • Assisting residents in achieving an elevated quality of life, sustaining living stability, fostering self-determination and autonomy, and enhancing resilience within this segment of the community.

  • Cultivating collaborative efforts with groups, individuals, and other organizations dedicated to enhancing the overall quality of life for Vieques residents.

COREFI Te Alimenta

At the core of our mission stands COREFI TE ALIMENTA, our weekly feeding program is driven by a singular objective: to foster the independence and well-being of our seniors and underserved community members. What originated as a modest initiative has evolved into the core program of our organization, embodying our unwavering commitment to community care.

Currently, we provide and deliver over 800 meals each month across our island. As the need continues to grow, so does our reach. Month after month, we expand our services, reaching an increasing number of people in need.

Volunteer with us

A volunteer is someone who becomes a part of your organization by donating their time and service.

 

It takes a village

  • The programs that we are working on with our community of elders are not just simply about delivering essential items like adult diapers, meal replacement drinks, and hygiene products, although these are undoubtedly important.

  • These visits held by our dedicated team mean so much more to them. They serve as a reminder that somebody out there truly cares about their well-being and happiness. It's a friendly hand extended, an empathetic ear to listen to their stories, jokes, and even just engage in random conversations that bring a glimmer of joy to their hearts.

 
 

Volunteer with us

  • A volunteer is a person who, out of their own goodwill, generously offers to take part in an enterprise or undertake a task without expecting any remuneration in return.

  • At COREFI, we greatly value the contributions of our volunteers, who play a vital role in supporting our mission and helping us make a positive impact in the community.

Dedicated to those in need

In addition to assisting the sick, elderly, and disabled residents on Vieques, our dedicated COREFI team recognizes the pressing issue of limited access to government help and assistance faced by many in this community. With unwavering determination, we actively engage with the local neighborhoods, reaching out to those who often go unnoticed, ensuring that they receive the support and care they deserve. By prioritizing those in need and working directly within our communities, we strive to uplift and empower individuals who may otherwise be left without aid.
