12th Annual Poker Night
We Have Eggs! 🐔🥚
Our chicken coop project is officially taking flight — and we have the eggs to prove it!
Thanks to our amazing supporters, Lend a Hand Uganda has built and stocked a chicken coop that is creating a new source of food and income for the Lunch Program. The chickens are healthy, the first eggs are here, and we are just getting started.
Now, we need your help to keep the flock fed.
Your Poker Night ticket will help us purchase feed for the chickens so they can continue laying eggs. Some of those eggs will go straight to the children we serve, adding valuable protein to their school lunches. The rest will be sold at market, creating income that can help sustain the Lunch Program and keep the coop producing for years to come.
Your support helps turn eggs into meals, and meals into brighter futures.
So grab your cards, place your bets, and help us give these chickens a winning hand. Every donation brings us one step closer to a sustainable source of food and income for the children LAHU supports.
Let’s raise a little money, have a lot of fun, and keep the eggs coming!

Lend a Hand Uganda’s 2026 Spring Cocktails for a Cause
Join us for Networking and Cocktails!
Wednesday, May 20 at 6:00 - 8:00 pm
205 East 85th Street
Join us for an inspiring evening where purpose meets action. Spring Cocktails for a Cause brings together a community of leaders, dealmakers, and difference-makers—united by one simple idea: small investments can create lasting change.
This year, we’re shining a spotlight on our Chicken Coop Project—a sustainable, high-impact initiative that helps families in Uganda build reliable income, improve nutrition, and create long-term stability. With just a few chickens, a family can generate daily income through egg sales, reinvest in their future, and take meaningful steps toward financial independence.
For a room full of real estate professionals, the message hits home: the right assets produce results. Chickens are no different. Chickens are for closers. Every dollar raised at this year’s Spring Cocktails for a Cause goes even further.
Lend a Hand Uganda is fully volunteer-run in the U.S., which means the majority of funds go directly to the people and programs we support on the ground. 100% of your ticket price goes directly to our programs and is fully tax-deductible.
Come ready to connect, give, and be part of something bigger. Together, we can turn simple opportunities into lasting impact—one coop, one family, one future at a time.
Each ticket allows us to add 10 chickens into our coop, plus purchase feed and other supplies. This feeds a family of four for a year.
