LWV Donor Organizations

Organizations We’re Donating To…

It’s been a hard couple of months for many in our county, with the Vallecito floods and the government shutdown, so the LWV La Plata Board has decided that in lieu of our annual holiday gathering, we have chosen to honor the League’s values of community and service by giving back to these organizations making a real difference in the lives of our neighbors.
