A legacy of faith, charity and hope since 1957
Welcome to
Casa de los Pobres USA.
Join our mission of mercy
by serving the poor in God’s name.
Join us in support of the Casa de los Pobres in Tijuana, Mexico, where the Franciscan Sisters feed, heal, and restore dignity to the poor.
Your donations help hundreds of these poorest of the poor daily.
The poor and destitute people that come to the Casa's doors are sick, hungry, frightened, and cold. The food and care the Casa delivers gives these people hope.
Serving Christ in the vulnerable
Since 1957, we have served the most vulnerable families in Tijuana. By providing food, medicine, and shelter, we turn fear and hunger into hope and dignity.

Discover the many ways you can provide hope
Donate Online
Your gift provides consistent food and medical care for the most vulnerable. Whether it is a one-time gift or a recurring monthly donation, your support ensures that no one is turned away.
Adopt a Student
Education is the key to escaping poverty. For just $45 a month, you can provide a student with the school supplies and transportation they need to succeed and dream of a brighter tomorrow.
Donate by Check
We gratefully accept donations by check made payable to Casa de los Pobres USA. Your contributions go directly to the mission’s daily operations in the Colonia Altamira neighborhood of Tijuana.
Donate by Bank Bill Pay
Avoid credit card service charges by using your bank’s Bill Pay service. Setting up a recurring payment is an efficient way to provide reliable support ensuring every cent reaches those in need.
Donate Goods
Help us stock our bodega with canned food, blankets, shoes, and school supplies. These tangible gifts provide immediate relief to families facing the cold and rain in Tijuana’s colonias.
Participate in Events
Beyond financial support, you can join our vibrant volunteer community. From packing meals to attending local events, your time helps bridge the gap between San Diego and the Casa.
