In its Forty-six (46) years of existence, ADV has assisted approximately 110,422 unduplicated seniors through the provision of 15,758,697 congregate meals: 12,800,965 home-delivered meals: 4,674,004 one-way transportation trips; and 533 subsidized rental housing apartments through ADV’s HUD Section 202 developments. Without the dedicated hard work of over 400 senior volunteers, who provide over 82,000 man-hours of volunteer work on an annual basis, ADV would not have been able to impact positively on the lives of such seniors during its forty-six years of existence.

Amigos Del Valle, Inc., (ADV) was officially chartered on October 4, 1974 as a private non-profit organization under the State of Texas Non-Profit Corporation Act.
