VALLARTA ABUELOS

“Vallarta Abuelos” is a nonprofit centre for needy families in the Col. 5 de Diciembre just north of downtown.

In 2019 Anne Marie Weiss formed the “Vallarta Grandparents” to offer educational and cultural support to at-risk children. Their programs include:

• Education Scholarships to support children who face poverty, neglect, drug abuse, or physical/mental handicaps.
• The School Bag drive provides 600 children with supplies and backpacks.
• The Christmas program distributes bags of gifts from Santa to a similar number.
• The Bicycle program has delivered bikes to 170 children.
• English classes, therapy and empowerment for teens
• Distribution of clothing and shoes.

The International Friendship Club (IFC) is pleased to support Vallarta Abuelos school bag project.
