Thanks to the initiative of the Triple-S Foundation to reduce food insecurity in Puerto Rico, Triple-S brought its volunteers from the Di Presente program to the Banco de Alimentos. They perform various administrative tasks, stock food in the store and make boxes for food delivery to communities. The commitment of our volunteer employees to serve our most in need communities always makes a difference.

Triple-S Foundation and the organization Plenitud arrived together at Las Marías town with a group of Triple-S Vida volunteers to assist in the program “Amo mis Abu’s” to help various homes of elderly adults who live alone and under critical conditions. Thanks to our collaboration, the elderly was covered with basic needs, and their houses were conditioned with cleanliness and organization for a better life quality.

In an effort to support the Juana Matos community in Cataño, who were affected by heavy rains and floods, the Triple-S Foundation donated $20,000 to provide them with food and basic essential items. A few organizations joined this initiative, including Asociación de Exempleados en Acción, Inc. (AESA), the San Juan Lions Club and the Comedor de la Kennedy, who continue helping families who lost everything in their homes and giving companionship to the elderly adults who are alone during the afternoons.

GuideWell, the new parent company of Triple-S, made a generous donation of $1 million to the Triple-S Foundation to support non-profit organizations and projects focused on mitigating food insecurity and social isolation of vulnerable populations in Puerto Rico.

Triple-S Foundation contributes $150,000 to six non-profit organizations throughout Puerto Rico: Esperanza para la Vejez; Nuestra Escuela; Plenitud PR; PRYMED; Waves Ahead; Science and Education Research Foundation. These organizations will carry out specific projects for vulnerable populations with limited economic resources who live alone, suffer from chronic conditions, and need support to have food security and emotional well-being.

In an emotional virtual conference, Triple-S Foundation presented several organizations that worked hand in hand on two social determinants: food security and emotional well-being in the communities.  Employees had the opportunity to connect and learn about Banco de Alimentos, P.E.C.E.S., World Central Kitchen, El Comedor de la Kennedy and APIADI’s work. In addition, they have learned how to collaborate through the volunteer and donation program to support the mission of Fundación Triple-S.

Thanks to the sponsors and players who make this event possible, more than $ 90,000 in donations were raised. These collections will benefit the following organizations: Muscular Dystrophy Association, CAP Foundation and Triple-S Foundation. This event contributed for these entities to continue their work of service for a better Puerto Rico.

A collaborative effort between United Ways, Department of Natural Resources and Triple-S Foundation will bring a new life to Bosque Urbano San Patricio. This project consists of rehabilitating an urban lung forest, environmental protection, promote food access and social connectedness. Triple-S has made a $25,000 commitment to increase food security awareness and education through the plant nursery initiative and collaborative alliances with nonprofit organizations. This agreement is an excellent opportunity to reduce elderly social isolation and promote health and community well-being.

PECES played a prominent role in Humacao and much of the eastern region of the island in developing reconstruction initiatives and channeling funds after Hurricane María. But that leading role is the result of three decades of developing community leaders, especially among the younger population. At Triple-S Foundation, we want to support them as they continue expanding and building a more resilient Community Sustainability Center, as well as contribute to their efforts towards promoting food security among the older population.
