About Us
Our Mission
La Unión Internacional de Oficiales y Civiles is dedicated to supporting communities in the Dominican Republic affected by tragedies through monetary donations, medical supplies, and food provisions.

As a 501(c)(3), we continue providing medical and educational supplies, foster professional connections with Dominican authorities, and offer members access to vetted legal and healthcare services in the Dominican Republic.
