Community Impact

Since 2013, The El Rio Vecinos have contributed more than $526,000 to support El Rio Community Heath Center.

In 2019, the El Rio Vecinos dental fund provided about $75,000 of care to 120 unique patients under the age of 18. 

Beyond the dollars raised, Vecinos have volunteered countless hours toward other El Rio Community Heath Center events such as Reach out and Read and the Children's Back to School Immunization Event. 

The spirit and passion of the membership translate into a huge community impact that has ripples far beyond the dollars raised.

​Vecinos are stewards of the community and take pride in making Tucson a better place to live!
