Vallarta Botanical Gardens
The Vallarta Botanical Garden appreciates your donation, no matter how much you can afford. Use this donation type to show your generosity and support to the gardens, which will be applied towards the Garden’s General Fund. This is the best way to donate to support our organization.
Vallarta Cares
What began as a compassionate response to the immediate crisis quickly evolved into a movement. Without the usual influx of tourists, many in our community faced severe food insecurity and extreme poverty for the first time. Recognizing the urgent need, a small group of locals, driven by a shared vision of compassion and support, came together to make a difference. This collective effort marked the birth of what was initially known as Vallarta Food Bank.
