Several entrepreneurial, self-starting projects that promote economic independence and job creation in communities throughout the northern part of the island will be receiving a boost from a collaboration between metropistas (Autopistas Metropolitanas de Puerto Rico, LLC) — the company in charge of managing Highways PR-22 and PR-5 — and the Sila M. Calderon Foundation.
Sea Star Line Inc. recently donated $25,000 to the Iniciativa Comunitaria nonprofit organization in Hato Rey, to expand its Apego project to allow the children of program participants to visit their loved ones for longer periods of time.
With the beginning of the new school year just a few weeks away, the Office Depot Foundation is donating 1,800 colorful new “sackpacks” containing essential school supplies to kids served by nonprofit organizations and schools in Puerto Rico.
