A legacy of faith, charity and hope since 1957
Casa de los Pobres, Tijuana:
Join our mission of mercy
to serve the poor in God’s name
The Casa de los Pobres USA helps support the Casa 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
For almost 70 years, the Casa has served the most vulnerable families in Tijuana. By providing food, medicine, and medical services, the Sisters help 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. From just $45 a month, you can give a student the school supplies and transportation needed to succeed — and help that child 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 and ensure every cent reaches those in need.
