About Us

Our mission, our story, and the people behind Corazones Vivos.

Our Mission

Corazones Vivos Inc is a Homestead nonprofit dedicated to community outreach and serving the homeless with compassion. We work across Miami-Dade to provide support, meals, and hope to families and individuals in need.

Our Areas of Impact

We focus on practical, local work that meets people where they are—through outreach, resources, and partnerships across Miami-Dade.

  1. I

    Local homeless outreach

    Bi-monthly provision of hygiene items and food baskets to the homeless population, whether in local shelters or living on the street within Homestead and other portions of Miami-Dade, FL.

  2. II

    Resource program

    TurnTheTideMiami.com is designed to increase access in the Miami-Dade community to higher education, career opportunities, and government-funded grants.

  3. III

    Volunteer opportunity networking

    We connect volunteers to local nonprofits with similar missions so more people can serve effectively where help is needed most.
