Bodega Day
By Casa de Los Pobres USA
Every Thursday is “Bodega Day.”
Families obtain a ticket from the Social Service office, and bring a bag to fill.
In many cases, this bag of groceries may be all the food the family has for the week.
Every Thursday at the Casa is “Bodega (Grocery) Day.” Families obtain a ticket from the Social Service office, and bring a bag to fill.
In many cases, this bag of groceries may be all the food the family has for the week.
The families typically receive:
• A kilo of beans
• 2 or 3 loaves of day-old bread
• Rice
• Miscellaneous cans of food, depending on what’s been donated
• Maybe small potatoes or squash
• Backyard fruit that’s been donated
It’s a treat for the visitors to the Casa to receive fresh fruits and vegetables!
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Please help us feed the poor of Tijuana on Bodega Day each week!
1. Make a monetary donation, which helps the sisters buy beans, rice and canned goods. See the “Donate” tab above.
2. Drop off unexpired cans of food or bags of rice or beans, at the Casa. Proteins such as canned chicken and tuna are especially helpful.
3. Drop off food at our USA donation site: Our Lady of Refuge Church, 4226 Jewell Street (corner of Jewell St. and Oliver Ave), San Diego 92109, Sundays 8 AM – 2 PM, Mondays 8:30 AM to 3 PM. Park in the lot off Oliver Avenue. In the building on the right, the far left door is the Casa door where you can leave your donations. If the door isn't open, visit the office (blue door) across the alley.
