Welcome to
FAMILIES AT THE DUMP
Mission
Families at the Dump serves to meet the physical, spiritual, medical, emotional and educational needs of the registered recyclers living along the base of the dump on Hope Road, as well as in the surrounding colonias. We also provide assistance to the Mission Church families living in the Colonias surrounding the Puerto Vallarta City Dump.
VISION OF THE MISSION FOR OUR FALL/WINTER SEASON 2009-2010
The vision of the mission is to move forward assisting the families and empowering them on their journey to achieve independence and self sufficiency with our primary focus being on EDUCATION AND MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.
The ultimate goal is to prepare them and then provide improved living conditions with a housing project. We are working to provide them with the life skills and tools to become home owners and valuable contributors to society.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The Puerto Vallarta City Dump has been working as a Transfer Station since June of 2009. Garbage is brought in one truck at a time at the base of the dump. It is picked through for recyclables by the families in the mission 24/7. Once all recyclables have been removed, another truck comes in and takes the waste to another location where it can break down naturally. At this time we have been assured that this will continue indefinitely. FAD continues to have a constant flow of information on the situation. We thank everyone who continues to support Families at the Dump with their prayers,time, energy and financial assistance. The mission families would like to express their appreciation for the support of the tourist visitors. They feel very blessed.
The DUMP continues to function.
