Do you ever feel like you could do more with your life? That you can lend a helping hand every day?

“This is something that makes me feel good, when something makes you feel that way you just know you have got to do it. We are a family and we want to keep growing”.

I CARE INC. is a nonprofit student organization that was founded last April by Edgardo Albino. He has always been doing volunteer work and he wanted to provide a space where people could dedicate their time to do volunteer work. I CARE collects money, clothes and food for hospitals and children’s foster homes. Albino affirmed that they work for the wellbeing and happiness of people in the community. They are a chapter in our campus in Río Piedras that works under the National I CARE program. I CARE in Río Piedras is currently working with the Future Pharmacists Association in Cayey. They work hand in hand with the student body to provide volunteers to the different places that they visit.

Future events:

They are having a clothes drive until the 30th of September.
