Belafonte TACOLCY Center, Inc

TACOLCY'S purpose is to provide the leadership, partnerships, advocacy programs and services necessary to move the reality of Liberty City increasingly toward the above vision--to become a nationally respected agency that produces positive and strong contributors to society.

We offer programming such as Care Coordination, which assists with any and all needs, including but not limited to a Parenting Program, providing baby essentials through our Henderson's Baby Closet, and addressing food insecurity with our Chief Press Food Pantry.

At TACOLCY, we understand that the youth are the future! Therefore, investing in the future is of  paramount importance. Our Teen Department highlights our pre-teen and teenage youth in the community through the programs Teen Arise and Club TACOLCY, respectively. 

We teach them life management skills such as financial literacy and career readiness. In addition to providing ACT/SAT Prep, college tours, academic advising, and field trips.

As for our Out-of-School Department we will pick up your children after school, provide them with healthy snacks, as well as provide homework assistance.

This year for Give Miami Day, we are highlighting the vital role that sports play in shaping the future of our youth. Through our Athletics Program, we offer football, flag football, lacrosse, basketball, track and field, cheerleading and dance. Not only keeping our kids active but instilling teamwork, discipline, and leadership skills that last a lifetime.

Often times in our community we are led to believe that football and basketball are our only options. This is not true at all! At TACOLCY we believe that all sports are for all people. At TACOLCY we want to provide our youth with alternative sportsman opportunities.

For years, we’ve proudly offered these sports at no cost to families, ensuring that every child can participate, regardless of financial circumstances. Your donation can help ease this financial burden for families and ensure that no child misses out on the life-changing benefits of sports.

Your contribution today will:

    •    Provide scholarships for families in need

    •    Help us maintain and improve our facilities

    •    Equip our teams with necessary gear and equipment

    •    Foster a sense of belonging and purpose in our young athletes

Together, we can keep our sports programs accessible, impactful, and full of opportunities for every child. Your support matters now more than ever!

Thank you for being a champion for our youth! 💙💪
