What started as a small fundraiser called #SupportUtila by the owner’s of Coral View Beach Resort Utila, to help provide food for those financially impacted by the pandemic, has evolved into Support Utila inc, a 501(c)3 organization, committed to continuing our original goals of helping provide food, vitamins and medicine, plus more. What that “more” is will grow over time. Until the pandemic is globally under control and is no longer a threat, we remain focused on preventive medical needs, and being prepared for a possible outbreak. Our other immediate programs include helping secure needed resources for Jasper’s Utila Animal Shelter, to keep your pets safe, to reduce stray animals, and to provide a better life for people and pet’s alike.
As our funding grows, and grants are secured, we continue working with the Municipalidad de Utila, schools, and other organizations to help provide what is needed to continue keeping Utila beautiful, to improve the lives of its residents, to keep its ocean and lands clean, and play a critical role in providing opportunity for all.
We are a solutions focused non-profit organization. Join us in being part of helping solve problems by donating or volunteering today.

Food Donations Arrive! https://supportutila.org/food-donation-arrive/ https://supportutila.org/food-donation-arrive/#respond Fri, 10 Jul 2020 01:37:21 +0000 http://aia.vos.mybluehost.me/?p=1 Utila is a very small island, with limited health systems available, the Governor of the Bay Island had temporarily closed all ports and points of access into the Island.  This help protect the health of the residents from the spread of COVID-19 but has caused severe economical impact to the island which is very much dependent on tourism.  It also impacted the ability to bring food and other items into the ports.  This is where #SupportUtila comes in!

With the first set of donations to #SupportUtila we addressed very basic food needs of the island.  We purchased and shipped from the mainland over 10,000 lbs of food that has been distributed to the residents of Utila.  Thanks to our incredible volunteers on the island, we packaged and distributed meals for people on both Utila proper and the Cays.  Food distribution continues to be one of the foundation items that we provide including baby food and milk for children.
