Blankets and Warm
Clothing Needed
For
many of us, this time of year reminds us of all the things we
are thankful for but for others, it is a time to dread the coming
of frigid temperatures without adequate protection from the cold.
Won't you help us provide blankets and warm clothing to those
suffering through the harsh effects of this winter along the border
in Mexico and the Rio Grande Valley. Your donations of new or
gently used blankets and warm clothing such as coats, sweaters,
sweatshirts, scarfs and socks will allow us to provide much needed
comfort to those facing this winter with little or no protection
from the elements.
Items
can be donated at one of our collection
points by calling the designated collection point contact
to arrange a drop off or pick up.

Your
donations continue to be delivered to those in need in northeastern
Mexico. A van load of mostly educational donations from Sugarland
Presbyterian Church were transported to the border in August with
most of these donations having already been crossed into Mexico by
Rafael for distribution by Fidencio.

Donated
computers from Tom Adams of Austin were converted to a Windows 7
Spanish OS, loaded with Microsoft Office in Spanish and transported
to the border in August. These computers will be placed in schools
for use by the teachers and children. CUPS has provided some
assistance to Casa Bugambilia as they seek to find recipients for
the more than 100 wheelchairs that they received as donations.
CUPS
continued to complete a variety of work projects led by Fidencio
with the help of the local communities benefiting from the
projects. Roofs for a playground and a school building along with a
new bodega were some of the highlights from 2017.

All of
the work accomplished this year has only been possible through your
continued support of CUPS through your donations and financial
contributions. Your financial contributions allow us to collect and
deliver donations to those most in need and support the work of
ongoing work projects. As we approach the end of this year, won't
you consider a financial contribution to CUPS so that we can
continue to provide educational and medical supplies to our
neighbors and sustain the work projects that have already been
identified.
