Where do we go?

Over the past five years we've managed to distribute over thirty-thousand pounds of clothing and supplies throughout the northern highlands along the Sonora/Chihuahua border and in the Sierra de Sahuaripa and Rio Sonora. Some of the communities we've visited include Ejido Hernandez, Valle Seco, Valle de Oro, Pacheco, Mesa Tres Rios, Bacadehuachi, Talayotes, Valle Grande, Nacori Chico, Tarachi, Bavispe, La Iglesia, Bacoachi and Huachinera. (Inset 1 & Inset 2 on Maps & Legends) In Baja California we're concentrating relief efforts to agricultural communities outside of San Quintin. Clothing and supplies are donated primarily to community churches, health and community centers, as well as individuals and families. Along with destinations in Mexico in the past we've donated tons of clothing to Native American reservations in northern Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, earthquake relief for Gujurat, India, and the Greater West Hollywood Food Coalition, a private relief group providing food and clothing for the homeless in Los Angeles since 1987.
