Gifts from the Heart

How it Works

  1. Select a gift amount and program to support
  2. Personalize a card by including a special message and choosing the header/occasion
  3. Receive a free PDF of the card, and, if you’d like, have a physical card sent in the mail to the recipient of your choice

Funds will be directed to program leaders to determine where they are needed most, but below are examples of cards and what your donation could support.

Greatest Need

Each year the Mission in San Lucas Tolimán delivers life-changing services to over 25,000 people.  From housing to fuel-efficient stoves and classes at the Women’s Center to education for 650 elementary students, and from affordable healthcare offered at the clinic to the health promoter teams in the communities, the Mission touches lives each and every day.  By designating your gift to “the greatest need” you give the Mission maximum flexibility in responding to the people of the community.
