Who We Serve
Puerto Ricans Affected by Hunger
ACOMERPR has distributed food throughout the island, while establishing community gardens in
5 municipalities: Mayagüez, San Juan, Ponce, Loiza, and Camuy:
To date, we have served thousands of Puerto Ricans with food distributions, community gardens, and
research and education initiatives. The programs we conduct serve community members and
marginalized communities in these regions to promote economic development and access to affordable,
nutritious food. The populations of these communities are often impoverished. Our organization has
increasingly grown to serve elderly populations, as they suffer from severe food insecurity when compared
to the national average.
“ACOMERPR has impacted our community in an incredible way, creating awareness in our community about our diet, the need to harvest our own food and fostering a sense of belonging in our community.”
Keishla M. Soto Estremera, Camuy
FUTURE PROJECTS
In the next 3 years, our goal is to refine and expand our distribution infrastructure, in addition to our community development and research initiatives.
