Dawn and I are so excited to partner with Shoreline City in sending these much-needed resources to Ecuador! Thank you for joining us on this journey!


Matthew Collins, CEO Spirit of Wellness

In Partnership with Shoreline City Dallas

Spirit of Wellness is delivering much needed hope to Coastal Ecuador.

In Ecuador, OVER 21 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION LIVES IN POVERTY according to United Nations data. Many rural communities have limited access to education, clean water, economic opportunities or health care. Often, nutritious food is not in plentiful supply. 


Escaping poverty requires more resources than are currently available.


That’s where WE--ALL OF US, TOGETHER--can make a real difference.


Your donations will go directly to help to build brighter futures.

Our team members have become part of the local communities and work in partnership with leaders, educators and health providers to supplement existing programs working to ensure brighter futures.


We are proud to claim that since our inception just a few short years ago, our presence has made a measurable difference.

Spring is approaching! Get a head-start on your annual cleaning and “do good” while doing good. Your used items will make a huge impact in the lives of those we serve in Ecuador. 


EVERY SINGLE ITEM that we receive during the “Container for Ecuador” project will be placed in the home of a family, will support a school, or will be used in an ongoing project. All donations will send the message that the larger world has not forgotten the incredible people of Ecuador.


The catchphrase "re-use, re-cycle, re-purpose" has special meaning here in Ecuador. EVERYTHING is re-used, re-cycled and re-purposed to the point of no longer functioning at all.
