Basic Needs Donations

A great way of contributing to our cause is by donating personal hygiene items and food goods. Your basic needs donations greatly help to support our services and provide the best to our participants. You could plan a donation drive among your co-workers, at school or church. If you need guidance on how to plan the event or Iniciativa’s information for flyers, you can contact us via phone at 787-250-8629 or via email at : info@iniciativacomunitaria.org
