The objective is to receive articles in good condition which will then be used to carry out their annual Family Bazaar which will take place on May 13th of this year. 

When can you donate?

Starting today, February 21st until Friday, May 6th. Monday – Friday, from 8am -5pm

Toys, clothes, and home appliances in good condition

Where can I donate?

The MIR Foundation, founded by Lian Fanjul de Azqueta in 1990, has been dedicated since then to improving the lives of young people in the La Romana area of the Dominican Republic. With your continued help, the Fundación MIR will be able to continue helping the more than 2,000 families that depend on their support to cover a large part of their basic hygiene, health, and food needs. 

For more information, you can contact (809) 399-8192 or seila@fundacionmir.org and they will respond as soon as possible.
