Our Work
The Vines Foundation carries out various initiatives aimed at creating positive change in the Uco Valley and advancing sustainable development goals. This includes funding community projects, educational programs, health initiatives and other efforts to improve the well being of the local community.
We are seeking to increase capacity and participation through engaging Vines owners and guests, community members and organizations, local businesses, and the municipal government to address the complex challenges facing Tunuyán’s residents.
Meeting Basic Needs
This initiative addresses urgent material needs—like shoes, school supplies, and winter clothing—for children and families living in vulnerable conditions.
University of Notre Dame Partnership
The Vines Foundation partners with the University of Notre Dame’s Keough School of Global Affairs to connect the Foundation’s mission of supporting sustainable development in Tunuyán to evidence-based solutions. TVF works with student research teams to identify, adapt, and implement successful models related to community health, nutrition, vocational training and economic development, and much more.
Community Gardens and Nurseries
These gardens, developed in partnership with INTA, promote environmental education, food sovereignty, and sustainable agriculture in communities facing hardship.
Mobile Veterinary Unit for Spaying and Vaccination
This mobile program delivers veterinary care to remote areas and promotes responsible pet ownership through education and disease prevention, improving the lives of both animals and people.
Dog Shelter
Our shelter provides safe haven, medical care, and adoption opportunities for abandoned and stray dogs, working to ensure every animal receives a second chance.
Community Kitchens
We partner with local soup kitchens to provide regular, nutritious meals to children in vulnerable situations, supporting their development and promoting food security within their families.
