The holidays are a busy time of year, but there's one thing that should be on everyone's "To Do" list-supporting our neighborhood's families.
This year, Latinos Progresando invites you to build change with us by becoming a Hero through our "100 Heroes" campaign-an initiative to gather 100 donations of $100 over the course of one year.
Even better: this year, every new or increased donation to Latinos Progresando will be matched dollar-for-dollar by an anonymous contributor.
Thank you for being a part of LP's work to build a stronger community.
Become a Hero today! Click here to see a list of today's Heroes.
