Legumes for Lent: The Casa uses 8,000 pounds of beans each month
Help the Sisters restock this critical staple item: we need your monetary donations
Every breakfast includes beans. The Sisters are always buying beans
Your donations help ensure that no one is ever turned away from the Casa.
Beans are also given to the people on Bodega Day
Dear Friends of the Casa de los Pobres,
The need continues for staple foods in Tijuana and is ever more urgent. For daily meals and the grocery bag program (which provides food for the elderly, handicapped, and families), the Casa uses over 8,000 pounds of dried pinto beans per month!
In dollars and cents, the Casa uses $900+ of beans per week to feed 700 people per day, and provides 2 lbs. of beans each week for Bodega Day on Thursdays.
Beans are an absolute staple in the lives of the people who come to the Casa. They are high in protein and other nutrients, so your contributions make a clear impact on the well-being of many, many people.
We are asking again for your donations for our "Legumes for Lent" campaign. The Sisters will use your donations to buy beans in Tijuana, to provide the staple throughout the Easter season.
Help the Sisters Buy Beans!
