MAKE IT COUNT.

ABOUT UNA VIDA

Una Vida is committed to building community, inspiring change and helping community-members thrive. Together we inspire generosity, mobilize resources and distribute donations to community-members in Petaluma, California and our partner communities in the Dominican Republic.

As a grassroots community organization, we partner with community leaders, public educators and fellow non-profits to identify those in need and connect them to resources that address their unique circumstances.

Join us this holiday season as we ensure that every Petaluman has something to celebrate this year.
