Agallas Equities Distributes Holiday Food Baskets to Families in Villa Hermosa, La Romana

Agallas Equities, a New York–based private investment and development firm, distributed hundreds of holiday food baskets to families in the Villa Hermosa community of La Romana, Dominican Republic. The initiative, which took place on December 19, 2025, reflects the firm’s commitment to responsible growth and long-term community impact, helping families celebrate Nochebuena with dignity and togetherness. Each basket was prepared with staple items for a traditional holiday dinner, easing the burden of food insecurity and allowing families to gather and celebrate the season. This giveaway is part of Agallas Equities’ ongoing commitment to social responsibility and community engagement in the regions where it operates.

For Villa Hermosa residents like Maria Francisco, the gesture provides more than food assistance. Francisco stated that the canasta is a blessing for her family and the entire community, meaning they can sit together on Nochebuena and share a traditional holiday dinner filled with joy and gratitude. She emphasized that knowing they are seen and supported during the holiday season means everything. Nelson Tejada, Partner and Co-founder of Agallas Equities, highlighted that giving back is deeply rooted in both personal values and the firm’s mission. Tejada shared that his grandmother taught him to give with your heart, not just with your hand, and that supporting the communities that welcome them is not an obligation but who they are. He noted that moments like these in Villa Hermosa remind them why this work matters, and they are proud to give back to a community they love and offer support during the holidays.

As Agallas Equities continues to grow its operations in the Dominican Republic, community-based initiatives like the Villa Hermosa holiday giveaway will remain central to the firm’s mission and approach. The firm is committed to fostering sustainable growth and positive impact, measuring success not only in financial returns but through meaningful, lasting contributions to families and communities.
