LCUUF has a Share the Basket program which helps support other charitable organizations in the Lake Chapala area. 

Some of the organizations we have supported recently include:

• FoodBank Lakeside, Ajijic                   https://foodbanklakeside.org/
• Operation Feed, San Juan Cosala      http://www.operationfeedsjc.org/
• Poco a Poco, San Pedro Itzican          https://www.pocoapocosanpedro.com/
• Tepehua Community, Chapala            https://tepehua.org/

Any loose pesos in the offering basket on Sunday will be split:  one-half to the LCUUF general fund and one-half to the Share the Basket recipient for the month.  If you pay your pledge or donate to LCUUF by PayPal, by Bill Pay, or pesos directly to our Treasurer in cash, you may designate the amount to go to Share the Basket.

If we collect more than MXN 5,000 pesos in any month, the full amount will go to an organization providing assistance to low-income residents in the Lakeside community.  If we collect less than MXN 5,000 pesos in donations for any month, the balance will be subsidized from the LCUUF treasury, as long as this is financlally feasible.  However, generally we have received more than MXN 5,000 pesos each month for our Share the Basket program.
