Today we begin our GivingTuesday campaign at Acacia Network.

For over 50 years, Acacia Network has stood with our neighbors through health care, behavioral health and addiction services, housing, workforce development, early childhood and youth programs, arts and culture, older adult services, and food and nutrition.

Between now and December 1, we will share the people and programs behind that work. When you give, you choose where your gift goes: pick the area that matters most to you on the donation form.

Acacia Network is proud to join SOMOS Puerto Rico once again for our Day of Service at Casa Kai! 🇵🇷 ✨

If you are attending SOMOS, please take a moment to register and join us in making a meaningful difference for underserved communities across the archipelago.

📰 A recent headline by El Nuevo Día shared a reality that many in the archipelago face every day: "Toman los medicamentos para olvidar el hambre | They take medications to forget their hunger."

Older adults, university students, and young people in Puerto Rico are facing severe social isolation, hunger, and a continuous water and power crisis. Under these immense pressures, many are turning to substance use just to cope.

Together, we will support local non-profits and community organizations providing food, cleaning products, and hygiene items to older adults, university students, young people facing substance use challenges, the LGBTQ+ community, and families in need. By addressing these basic needs, we hope to ease the daily pressures driving this crisis.

👉 Register via the SOMOS App today! Tap "Save a Seat" to lock in your spot and partner with us to bring hope and relief to our neighbors.

📆 Friday, November 6 | 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
📍 Antigua Escuela Graduada Segundo Ruiz Belvis, 1100 Ave. Manuel Fernández Juncos, San Juan, PR 00907

On October 8th, Acacia Network hosted its 2026 Annual Gala at the dazzling Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City. This year's theme, Built to Last: A Legacy of Community, brought us together to honor a community that came together 60 years ago to serve its own, and that has since grown into the largest Latino-led nonprofit in New York State. Over 500 attendees gathered to celebrate the profound impact of our integrated services on the neighborhoods we serve every day.

We were honored to recognize this year's distinguished awardees:

🌟 Hon. Eric Gonzalez, Esq., Brooklyn District Attorney (Government Leadership Award);
🌟 Hon. Roberto Ramírez, Esq. (Lifetime Achievement Award);
🌟 Mark Stagg & David Levitan (Corporate Philanthropy Award);
🌟 Capital District LATINOS (Community Leadership Award)

The event was hosted by David "DāSo" Soto, community organizer and CEO of Daso Entertainment, LLC, a creative umbrella company that connects music, art, fashion, and community through cultural expression.

We had a wonderful opening performance by Danza Fiesta! They kicked off the night with traditional Puerto Rican folk music, getting guests on their feet and excited for the rest of the evening.

Thanks to the generosity and support of all attendees and sponsors, our 2026 Gala was a tremendous success. Your continued commitment helps us elevate our mission to new heights!
