Why support EntreAmigos??

For the last eleven years Entreamigos has not only been a source of creativity, passion, compassion and education for this community but we have also inspired, maintained and continue to manage many important, often behind the scenes community services.

Everyday human and community support such as...

• Trash/Recycling and Community Beautification
• Daily collection of 70 recycling bins in town.
• Daily management of 20 trash cans, including the beach access cans
• Did you know that many of the trees in town were planted by Entreamigos in our community planting events?
• The mosaics at the kinder and elementary school, the murals at the beach entrance and several other "art installations" were done and are maintained by Entreamigos.
• Ongoing environmental education classes and school support services in the public schools at all levels.  

Ongoing Family and Community Support services that include:
