The difference you make is more than you can believe

CUPS is working to assist Mexican border area communities. To get projects off the ground, CUPS needs both financial contributions and volunteers willing to give of their time. Volunteer Work Groups help fund their projects but other individuals, organizations and businesses provide important resources, as do churches and other organizations. CUPS gratefully thanks donors and workers for the Christian love, faith and sweat they give to Mexican border communities. A special way to help is to become a member of the 300 Club by printing out and filling in a 300 Club donation form (an online version is available from the Online Forms menu, and a printable version is on the Forms page). Your gift qualifies as tax-deductible for those who itemize deductions. More information about the 300 Club is available in the 300 Club Trifold Brochure on the Forms page. You may also donate to CUPS online via credit card at NetworkforGood, or you can send in a check with your 300 Club form. Make checks payable to C.U.P.S. and return your gift to the following address :

There are other ways that volunteers can help CUPS, often from their own homes. CUPS tries to reduce overhead costs by enlisting volunteers to help with office duties such as newsletters, bulk mailings, accounting functions, web site maintenance, and numerous others. Many of these things can be done from your home if you have appropriate computer, telephone, fax, or other type of communication equipment. To better understand these opportunities for service, contact CUPS at either the Main Office or Business Office (see Contact CUPS page).

You may also be able to help CUPS by spreading the word about this mission to other people you know. Most of our volunteers are associated with the churches who sponsor work crews. Many of these are Presbyterian congregations. There are often opportunities to meet fellow Christians from other congregations at church conferences, seminars, Presbyterian Cursillos, Walks to Emmaus, etc. If you make a point of explaining the CUPS mission to attendees at these events, and tell them about your experience with CUPS, the word spreads to new churches. CUPS board members stand ready to visit churches that express an interest in learning more about our mission, so don't hesitate to put those you meet in contact with CUPS (see Contact CUPS page). To support you in this effort, we have an attractive CUPS Trifold Brochure, which can be obtained from the Forms page - just download both the Inside and Outside portions for printing).

Some CUPS volunteers may work for companies that make financial contributions to non-profit organizations in which their employees volunteer (an example is the ExxonMobil VIP program). If you or a friend of yours has volunteered time to a CUPS work project, we would encourage you or your friend to see if your/their employer offers such a program.
