Las Placitas Presbyterian Church’s (LPPC) Dignity Mission in Juarez

Last month 150 families and 110 single adults benefited from the donations taken to El Paso, and the same or more of our suffering brothers and sisters will be reached again this month. Click here for a translated letter from the director of the Quien Amara a los Niños program. There are a few different needs this month among the usual: infant formula, new underwear (all sizes for children; sizes small and medium for adults), new socks, diapers, sizes 3 and up, children’s games or group toys, school supplies, backpacks, t-shirts, and flipflops. An urgent need has popped up with the return of Haitian refugees to Juarez when the deportation 100-day pause was temporarily overruled by a Federal judge., Needed are shoes, shoelaces, and men’s belts (used are OK).

All items listed above also can be found on Amazon, and Prime members can mail directly with no shipping costs to Dignity Mission, c/o Dr. Eva Moya, 708 Somerset Drive, El Paso 79912. Monetary donations are always welcome.   For example, $20 will purchase all the toiletry items (12) needed to fill five Dignity Kits; or 20 flipflops; or 2 sneakers; or 8 pairs of underwear.  Just go to the LLPC website to give money (choose ‘mission/dignity kits’ as the fund in the dropdown), or mail a check with Dignity Mission noted in the memo line to Las Placitas Presbyterian Church, P.O. Box 768, Placitas, 87043. Thank you for your support. You’re in good company–in addition to all over NM, donors come from CA, CO, WI, ND, WA, UT, PA, and NC!
