Welcome to our latest episode, “Giving Back to the Community in Punta Cana | Tabitha’s Closet.”

In this impactful edition of the Punta Cana Podcast, we speak with Cora Taveras, originally from Canada, who shares how she turned a simple donation idea into Tabitha’s Closet—an expanding outreach initiative that supports families, orphanages, churches, and charities across the Dominican Republic.

What began with collecting clothing and household items has grown to include food, furniture, beds, refrigerators, and other essentials—all distributed completely free to those in need. Through Misión Caribe and with the support of expats, volunteers, and international foundations, Cora’s work is a true testament to compassion and community in action.

Whether you're interested in meaningful ways to give back, exploring life as an expat, or simply want to be inspired by real impact, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt stories.
