Since 1982, La Puente has been a lifeline for people experiencing homelessness and crisis in rural Southern Colorado. What began in a church basement has grown into a vital network of shelter, food, youth programs, housing support, and outreach — meeting the needs of over 12,000 individuals and families every year.

Our community may be small, but the challenges are enormous — and growing. For many, La Puente is the only place to turn.

We believe no one should face hunger, homelessness, or crisis alone. That’s why we’re here — and why your support matters.

Together, we can continue to meet the need, restore dignity, and build a stronger future for everyone in the San Luis Valley.

Let’s celebrate the significant steps that Silas and Patrick have made recently!!! Read on to see snippets of their stories.
