Bringing Essential Resources to Historically Underserved Communities
LiveWellViveBien (LWVB) is our signature program designed to address critical resource gaps in communities that lack supporting infrastructure. Each month we work to coordinate mobile market ecosystems that offer food and auxiliary services directly to the people who need them most.
Our Mission
We serve communities classified as "resource deserts" - areas with limited access to essential services including:
-
Food resources
-
Healthcare services
-
Career Enhancement
-
Educational Opportunities
-
Other vital community support systems

Colony Park

How It Works
The heart of LiveWellViveBien extends from a community-centered approach and the support of dedicated service providers. Together with our main partner, the Central Texas Food Bank, we ensure monthly food distributions are available to residents where they live.
Access to Healthcare

-
Preventative care & screenings
-
Mental health resources
-
Nutrition and wellness programs
-
Maternal and child health support
Safe & Active Communities
A strong community includes safe spaces for recreation and connection. We advocate for educational and enrichment programming for youth-seniors.
Healthy & Affordable Food

-
Farmers’ markets and community gardens
-
Grocery stores and fresh food options
-
Nutrition education programs

Food security resources for families
Health &
Well-being
Health goes beyond the physical. We promote mindfulness programs, support groups and focus on culturally responsive health services.
The Intersection of Community Needs
LiveWellViveBien (LWVB) goes beyond a single-focus approach by activating all four of Equidad's essential pillars:
-
Mixed-Income Housing
-
Health and Wellness
-
Cradle to College Education
-
Economic Vitality
​
LWVB thrives through a dynamic partnership network we've built with local nonprofits who join us in the field. These organizations provide education and specialized services tailored to each community's unique needs, creating a comprehensive support system that addresses multiple challenges simultaneously. This integrated approach recognizes a fundamental truth:
community transformation happens when multiple dimensions of wellbeing advance together.
Our Impact
While primarily operating under our health and wellness pillar, LiveWellViveBien actively intersects with all four organizational pillars, creating a holistic approach to community development that extends our mission.
We're helping build stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities throughout Central Texas. Join us!
