Day-to-day stresses have increased exponentially for all of us in the past year, but for millions of immigrant families, already struggling to provide their basic needs, the added burden of sudden unemployment, sequenced by food insecurity, unstable housing, isolation, and limited access to healthcare has swiftly become overwhelming. Without generous donations, this event and the vital immigrant stabilization program it supports wouldn’t be possible. For this reason, we hope you will consider making an in-kind donation to the auction or event portion of our program.

We‘re thrilled to announce that our yearly tradition of gathering to support immigrant families at FIESTA en la Viña will continue. This year, we’ll be coming together again virtually on Saturday, May 8th, 2021. I am reaching out today to offer an opportunity for you to directly support our community’s immigrant families while increasing your business’s brand recognition. On Saturday, May 8th, Lutheran Community Services Northwest will be hosting our annual FIESTA fundraising event. We hope you’ll join us in making this year’s FIESTA as much of a success as it was in 2020 — with over 350 virtual attendees, 85 sponsors, 55 donating wineries, almost 200 auction bidders and 25 volunteers who helped us raise $96,200!  

Fiesta 2021 will provide a unique opportunity for community members to hear about how your business has positively impacted the lives of immigrant families in Yamhill County. We are seeking both monetary sponsorships and in-kind donations for the auction and/or event portion of our program.
