#FlashbackFriday
We’re throwing it back to the Rainbows End Fashion Show on April 12, 2025 — and wow, what a night! 🌈👗

Hosted by the La Puente’s Rainbow’s End Social Enterprises, in partnership with the amazing The Church Project. The runway lit up with incredible looks straight from the Rainbows End store. From kids to AmeriCorps members, our models owned the stage and brought serious style for a great cause! 🙌

Not only was it a night of fun and fashion, but also giving — guests showed up with canned goods to support the Monte Vista Food Pantry, one of 15 in La Puente’s San Luis Valley Food Bank Network. 🥫❤️

Huge thanks to everyone who modeled, volunteered, and cheered us on. This show wouldn’t have been possible without YOU.

🌞 #ThrowbackThursday from a fun-filled day at the Rio Grande Farm Park with our PALS kids and staff! Whether it’s exploring nature, creating art, or giving back, every day with La Puente’s PALS Children’s Program is about growth, connection, and community 💚

🌱 PALS (Positive Activities Lead to Success) is a licensed after-school and summer program for K–5 students with high social-emotional needs. Through creative activities, community service, and a nurturing environment, PALS helps kids build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self.
✨ And now, we’re teaming up with Rio Grande Farm Park for a special volunteer event!
🪴 This Saturday, April 26th, come celebrate a belated #EarthDay and volunteer alongside the incredible PALS kids and staff during a Community Workday at the Farm Park!

🧤 Help us plant, clean, and care for the land that gives us so much—from 8:45 AM to Noon at:
📍 6935 CO-17, Alamosa, CO
Let’s show up big for our community—and show the next generation what teamwork and giving back looks like! 🌍✨

"Child abuse casts a shadow the length of a lifetime" -Herbert Ward

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month💙

La Puente’s Adelante Family Resource Center encourages everyone to join the fight in preventing child abuse. Early detection and intervention are crucial to protecting children from abuse* and providing them with the support they need to heal and thrive.

Adelante seeks to be a support for families. Too many individuals and families are unable to reach their potential because often they lack the support, skills, and resources to make that transformation possible.

Adelante works closely with families as they identify and achieve their dreams by providing educational opportunities, job support, financial management training, counseling, and other foundational support.

To learn more about Adelante visit our website at lapuentehome.org/adelante

*Reporting suspicions of child abuse to the appropriate authorities is essential in ensuring the safety and well-being of vulnerable children. To report suspected child abuse, contact the Colorado Child Abuse & Neglect Hotline at 844-CO-4-Kids (844-264-5437)
