Vallarta Cares (Food Bank)

See donation links below.

Vallarta Cares now has its own US tax exempt charity and you can not donate directly to Vallarta Cares.

Our new name captures how we’ve expanded our original mission of providing food to Vallarta’s hungry. We now offer free medical and dental care, showers, laundry, education, workshops, and access to clean water. And when there is need to support families impacted by a natural disaster, like a hurricane or flood, we are there with volunteers and a range of Relief Services. 

While our name has changed, our commitment to fighting hunger in our community has not. We're still delivering 2,800 hot, take-away meals weekly, supporting 89 families with our community pantry, and sharing food donations with other charities. Our generous donors and tireless food preparation and service volunteers are fulfilling the commitment that No One Goes Hungry!

In 2020, when COVID hit and Vallarta closed down, thousands of people were immediately out of work — no safety net. A small act of kindness in making bags of food for neighbors grew into a community-supported volunteer operation making thousands of food bags at the Chabad of Puerto Vallarta that were delivered across the region.

Each bag of basics could feed a family of four for a week. After several months at the Chabad, the fast-growing organization opened today’s site for food distribution and a soup kitchen. Other needed services for at-risk people and families quickly evolved. 

As we turn this new page, we're also welcoming fresh faces to our Board of Directors. Their diverse skills and dedication are set to propel Vallarta Cares into a bright future.
