La Puente's Family of Programs

La Puente is our community's response to address the effects of poverty by providing a safety net of services, where individuals and families get what they need to stabilize, heal, strengthen, and ultimately thrive.

Our community depends on your generosity.

With thousands of hours of volunteerism from youth and adults, we provide both hope and services when families need it most.​

🌟This #VeteransDay, consider donating to La Puente's Colorado Gives Day Portal🌟
www.coloradogives.org/organization/Lapuente

Our Crisis Prevention Program, on top of the other services they supply, provides Veteran Support in partnership with the state of Colorado. Eligible veterans can receive assistance to help cover essential needs such as home heating, vehicle repairs, and more. (Services are subject to funding availability and program limitations.)

🤔WHY DONATE FROM 11/1-12/9*?
Every donation made during Colorado Gives Day (Nov. 1–Dec. 9) is boosted by a $1M+ Incentive Fund. Each nonprofit receives a share of the fund proportional to the amount it raises, helping us maximize every gift.

🤷‍♀️HOW IT WORKS?
La Puente will receive a percentage of the fund equal to the percentage we raise for Colorado Gives Day. So, if we raise 10%, we get 10% of the Incentive Fund.

💡FOR EXAMPLE:
If La Puente raised ($50K) divided by the Total Amount Raised on Gives Day ($50M) x Total Amount in Incentive Fund ($5M+) = Individual Nonprofit's Share of Incentive Fund ($5K)

With this example, that would be an additional $5,000 added to the $50k raised!

*La Puente's Colorado Gives account is open all year round, but this specific time frame allows us to maximize YOUR donation! You can help La Puente provide a safety net of services to individuals and families in Colorado's San Luis Valley, as they aim to stabilize, heal, strengthen, and ultimately thrive.

Thanksgiving is all about fellowship and gathering around a table for a delicious meal…La Puente wants to make that "table" as big as possible so there is enough room for EVERYONE! Whether you're not sure where you are going to spend Thanksgiving this year or simply want a second meal that day, we hope you stop by to join our meal and strike up a conversation with other members of the community!

Feed Our Neighbors in a Time of Need📢📢

🤔Did YOU know?
Every month in the SLV, 11,000 people, including more than 4,000 children, put food on their tables because of food stamps.

🥫Consider donating to the Food Bank Network of the San Luis Valley by clicking on the link below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

or scanning the QR code

🥖The suspension of SNAP benefits has left many of our neighbors vulnerable to hunger over the holiday season, without hope of resolution and with dwindling resources available to keep themselves and their loved ones fed.

🥕SNAP benefits of just under $2,000,000 are needed every month to ensure that no one in the SLV goes hungry.

🥔In this time of need, please consider supporting the Food Bank Network of the San Luis Valley as we come together to meet this need. With your help, we can keep the shelves of all 15 pantries in the valley stocked and ensure that no one goes hungry during this unprecedented deficit. No gift, no one can, and no single dollar is too little to help us care for each other.

To get involved with the Food Bank Network of the SLV, please get in touch with Annalise Baer at director.foodbank@lapuente.net or 719-580-1686
