Today, we give a shout-out to Don Hanna, La Puente's PALS Director. COVID has hit families hard--parents are laid off, children can't engage in their usual extra-curricular activities. Our community needed PALS more than ever, so Don and his team stepped up to the plate. PALS is an after-school licensed children's program, who believes Positive Activities Lead to Success. Staff and volunteers work to provide children with a structured and nurturing environment. Thanks Don for all you do!

Communities are stronger when they work together. La Puente offers free, daily meals to the community and is excited to develop local partnerships in this hunger-relief effort. We wanted to provide at least one hot meal a day and involve local businesses. So, if businesses sponsor and distribute a meal, La Puente will pay for each plate served! We are proud to partner with these local hunger-warriors! Moki's Food Truck, Ef's Food Truck, SLV Pizza, Locavores, and Milagros. Contact (719) 588-0373 or email development@lapuente.net for more info!

La Puente wants to thank Tom Morin for all of his hard work in supporting the Alamosa Food Bank. Of all the banks in the our SLV Network, the Alamosa one is most utilized -- and that was before COVID hit! We need support now more than ever. To ensure the safety of our staff and volunteers, we've developed socially-distanced procedures. This way, we can continue supporting our community and one another. Call 719-345-7554 to volunteer!
