THE IMPACT

LULAC and our nationwide network of councils will continue to work to empower Hispanic communities across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. But we can’t do this alone.

We're asking you to directly support our communities in need by contributing to our programs and services. Your donation will be doubled - up to a total of $20,000 - thanks to a generous match from Walmart.
