Community Work Program in La Cruz Needs Help to Continue Connie & Landon Hollander - InsideLaCruz
February 7, 2014

As most of you know, for the majority of the past year, Acción En La Cruz has been operating entirely from private contributions. There is no financial support from any of the Amigos (Bucerias, La Cruz or Entre) or from PEACE. We have no annual Charity Ball attended by society big-wigs and corporate sponsors.

This past May, we coordinated with Fundación Punta de Mita to become the administrator of the program to administer, collect and distribute all program funds. After a two month interruption, we were able to get Acción En La Cruz back up and running - providing dispensas (food & provisions) to 18 local volunteers in exchange for their community work. This is the only program in La Cruz that offers a self-empowering means for residents to provide for their families.

As was necessary this past July, we have had to suspend the program once again until sufficient monies have been raised to cover at least one month’s operation (roughly $600 USD / 7,500 pesos)and 2,500 pesos in arrears.

If we are unable to raise the funds, there is the very real probability that the program will come to a permanent halt. The irony here is that the cost to run the program for a full year is less than $7,500 dollars which is really not a huge sum.  

We ask you to please donate to help this important project continue. You can receive a tax-deductible receipt for your contribution. If you can help us with a donation, please visit Fundación Punta de Mita.

As a favor, please send an email to landon5123@gmail.com indicating that you have made a contribution.

Thank you in advance for your generous contributions. Here’s hoping we can get Acción En La Cruz back on its feet rapidly.

Sincerely,

Connie & Landon Hollander, Supporters & Cheerleaders for Acción En La Cruz
