SUMMARY:HOPE Week - Candlelight Vigil 2025
DESCRIPTION:Homeless Outreach\, Prevention\, and Education (H.O.P.E) Week is a series of events meant to bring the community together to learn about homelessness and poverty in the San Luis Valley. Moreover\, H.O.P.E. Week highlights community-based programs that alleviate and prevent homelessness. \nLa Puente will host several events throughout the week…anyone from the community is invited to join!!! \nWe encourage you to join us for the Candlelight Vigil on October 1st\, which is a walking tour that starts at 6:00 PM outside of the Shelter and ends at Sacred Heart. Several community members that previously experienced homelessness will share their story and attendees will also enjoy a musical performance by ASU’s 68 West. The Vigil will wrap up around 7:00PM. \nIf you want to stay and enjoy some fellowship\, Sacred Heart will be offering pizza and drinks for attendees in their fellowship hall starting at 7:00PM. \nFor questions about the Vigil (or if you would like to offer a musical performance or poem to enrich the evening) contact Vanessa at asstdirector.comm@lapuente.net

SUMMARY:Thanksgiving Basket Giveaway 2025
DESCRIPTION:Leading up to Thanksgiving Day\, the Food Bank Network of the San Luis Valley will be giving out 800 Thanksgiving boxes filled with a whole frozen turkey\, stuffing\, canned pumpkin pie filling\, a variety of canned goods\, and fresh carrots\, potatoes\, and onions. \nThis year\, rising costs of groceries and other necessities have hit our clients hard\, and we’ve seen our service numbers increase across our pantries…for reference\, from 2022-2023 about 9\,000 folks used our Network within the year but last year from 2023-2024\, over 12\,000 individuals relied on the Network.  As inflation rises\, our clients’ dollars don’t go as far as they once did. For some\, the extra cost of a Thanksgiving meal isn’t feasible. \nAt the cost of $32.45\, you can ensure that one family who otherwise could not afford a Thanksgiving meal can celebrate with their loved ones and create meaningful traditions this holiday season.  \nTo donate a Thanksgiving meal\, you can: \n\nsend a check with “Food Bank Thanksgiving Drive” in the memo to 802 State Ave\, Alamosa\, CO 81101\ndonate online using a credit or debit card below!\n\n  \nSpread the Joy of Thanksgiving! \nFill out my LGL Form!\n \nIf you have any questions\, please get in touch with Annalise Baer by calling the Alamosa Food Bank at 719-589-4567 ext. 101 or by emailing director.foodbank@lapuente.net.

SUMMARY:Community Thanksgiving Meal
DESCRIPTION:La Puente is delighted to invite you to attend our annual Community Thanksgiving Meal\, a cherished tradition that brings our community together in the spirit of gratitude and compassion!\n\nWhen & Where: The event will take place on Thanksgiving Day\, November 27th from 12:30pm – 2:30pm at La Puente’s Community Shelter (913 State Avenue\, Alamosa\, CO 81101).\nWho: Anyone and everyone from the SLV community is welcome to attend\, enjoy a warm meal\, and share the holiday spirit! No RSVP is needed to attend. So come and bring a friend\, neighbor\, or stranger! \nWhat: Last year we were incredibly honored that over 250 people chose to spend Thanksgiving Day with us. Plates were piled high with turkey\, mashed potatoes\, stuffing\, casseroles\, and pies prepared and donated by members of our community. Most importantly\, guests who would have otherwise spent the holiday alone expressed gratitude for being able to connect with neighbors and leave with a deeper sense of belonging. We all enjoyed some live music performed by community members\, as well as the interactive “gratitude activity wall.” \n\n  \nWANT TO HELP OUT? This event is for the community and by the community! There are several ways to contribute to making this event possible. \n\nVolunteer: There are several different volunteer roles the day of\, from serving food to cleaning up. If you are able to spare an hour or two on Thanksgiving Day (or if you can help with setup and cooking the days leading up to Thanksgiving)\, please sign up for a time slot using this Thanksgiving Volunteer Form.\nBring Food: When you are doing your own Thanksgiving shopping and cooking\, consider making a little extra for La Puente’s Thanksgiving meal\, which is a potluck style. We are in need of turkeys\, pies\, stuffing\, casseroles\, and other staple holiday side dishes. If you aren’t able to make a full dish\, no worries! Consider dropping off a can of cranberry sauce or some whipped cream! A quick way to sign up to bring food is to use this Food Donation Form.\nFinancially Give: If you aren’t able to donate food\, we invite you to make a financial contribution to help our staff make sure there is enough food to go around! To mail in a check\, make it out to La Puente (PO Box 1235\, Alamosa\, CO 81101) with the memo “Community Thanksgiving Meal” or give a financial gift using the form below!\n\nContact Jade at volunteers@lapuente.net for more information about the event and/or to sign up to help!  \n  \nFill out my LGL Form!
