Acacia Network Rooted in the Community Since 1969 Home About COVID-19 Response Services Recent News Careers CONTACT Donate Now Puerto Rico In 2012, Acacia Network expanded our work to the islands of Puerto Rico. Working with local experts and consultants, we began the development of an affordable housing project for seniors in Puerto Rico. This project has allowed us to become further rooted in the community. In our efforts to provide immediate financial assistance to the victims of natural disasters, including Hurricanes Irma and Maria, in Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands, Acacia Network established Ayuda Puerto Rico, Inc., a 501(c)(3) Not-for-Profit organized under Section 402 of the NYS NFP Corporation Law. Through this nonprofit arm, and in collaboration with local experts and partners, we have expanded our reach to many more collaborators and have been working to provide direct aid to individuals and families in underserved communities throughout the island. To date, we have matched our initial $1 million dollar donation, and have reached more than 15,000 individuals with aid. We are in constant communication with many local and grassroots partners who are assisting us with the distribution of our help on an ongoing basis. And while our construction has resumed, our goal continues to be to bring help directly to the people, with local non-profits, with boots on the ground, and the infrastructure to deliver the help. In 2020, we launched new initiative, Brigadas al Sur, in collaboration with 15+ local partners to provide direct aid and services to communities affected by the earthquakes in the southwest region of the Island, including: Approximately 1,000 meals Nearly 600 body massages More than 500 acupuncture sessions More than 160 haircuts 1,000 mosquito nets, solar lamps, and school supplies In our efforts to provide immediate financial assistance to the victims of natural disasters, including Hurricanes Irma and Maria, in Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands, Acacia Network established Ayuda Puerto Rico, Inc., a 501(c)(3) Not-for-Profit organized under Section 402 of the NYS NFP Corporation Law. Ayuda Puerto Rico, Inc. is registered with the NYS Charities Bureau for the solicitation of donations, and protection of donors and beneficiaries as well.
