La Puente is meeting the needs of K-12 students across the rural areas of San Luis Valley (SLV) by providing them with school supplies for the 2024-2025 school year.
Historically, La Puente has held a backpack distribution outside of our three Rainbow’s End Thrift Stores. We found this wasn’t meeting the true needs of the K-12 students in the SLV in rural counties and school districts. This year we are focusing on reaching out to the most rural counties across the SLV, where students have access to supplies that will help ensure their success for the school year ahead of them.
This year we will be reaching Moffat, Fort Garland, Crestone, Monte Vista, Antonito, and San Luis.
We are in need of over-the-head headphones and scientific calculators (especially for middle school and high schoolers).
