iCan Give 20.4.24 Campaign

A drive is underway to find 500 Project Mexico Work Trip Alumni who will commit to give $20 or more per month for the next 24 months. (Don’t worry – if you’re not an alumnus, you can still participate!)

Can you believe that by simply giving
$20 per month for 24 months, 500 individuals will donate a combined total of $240,000?!!

If you’re a Work Trip Alumnus, you’re part of our family in a very special way. You know from experience how important our work is! While you were here, you hung out with the boys (or got beaten in a soccer game!), prayed and received the Eucharist together, and made a huge difference in the life of a Mexican family or at the orphanage itself. Some of you came searching for answers and many of you renewed your faith or took that next step in your walk with the Lord. Nearly all of you went away feeling that you had received more than you gave.

Because you’re part of the family, we’re asking you to help in a very specific manner. The economic recession has severely challenged us all; Project Mexico is no exception, despite serious cost-cutting measures which we put into place several years ago in anticipation of this downturn. We need your help to get through this economic crisis so that we can continue to minister to the poor and orphaned, and provide more people with the same life changing experience you had on your trip! Now is the time to step up. All you have to do is say “iCan Give!”

The "20.4.24 Campaign" is proof that the quote at the top of the page is true - small gifts really matter! This campaign will provide the resources we need to help us weather the financial storm that’s expected to last another two years. We’re asking you to get involved and join this core group of 500 Alumni.

What small luxury item could you forego to be one of “The 500”?

One fancy coffee drink per week?
One lunch out per week?
Two movie tickets per month?

It’s really that simple! Sign up now by clicking here or on the "Click Here to Join Us" orange button.

Although we’re asking you to participate in this campaign simply for the greater good of the St. Innocent Orphanage boys and needy Mexican families, there are some pretty cool benefits in it for you, too! We’ve created a Facebook group for the "iCan Give 20.4.24!" Campaign where you'll be able to do all kinds of great things!
