The Colombian Volunteer Ladies of Tampa Bay (CVL) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1982 by Maria Eugenia Vargas. For four decades, our mission has been to promote the economic, cultural, educational, and healthcare well-being of children and adults at risk.

What started as a goal to help underprivileged children has grown into a wide-reaching network of support that includes the elderly, the sick, and the disabled. We believe in transparency and efficiency: our volunteers manage all operations, ensuring that 95% of the funds raised go directly to those in need.
