Casa de Peregrinos

Every night in Las Cruces and Doña Ana County, people are living with or very close to hunger: children, seniors, handicapped people, those who've lost their jobs or cannot find one no matter how hard they try...some also have children and even grandchildren living with them.

If they're very lucky, they may have Social Security or unemployment benefits as an income, however inadequate in today's economy. Others—which would include the homeless—have little or no income at all, having lost their jobs recently or even long ago, or perhaps working only part-time at minimum wage.

As a result, more of them face impossible choices every day. Will they pay their utilities bill or buy food? Will they pay rent or seek medical care? Will they have a little something tonight by the campfire or in the car, or go to bed hungry? For too many, the "choice" will be to go without food.

That's why your donation means so much, and thank you for coming to this page! At Casa we welcome donations of all kinds. Money, food, clothing—all are put to good use in helping to feed the hungry in our community. Here are some suggestions:

Donate Funds

Here at Casa, we can always use money! For example, every $10 donated helps provide food for a family of three. Although larger donations allow us to feed more people, no donation is ever too small. And we’re grateful for whatever you can give.

Donating online. When you donate online, your funds (minus a small handling charge) reach us safely, and you receive an emailed receipt for tax purposes. To make a donation, simply click on any of the buttons below. And please consider becoming an "automatic" donor: setting up a recurring monthly donation, for example, is very easy to do at our donation page. (I'm PayPal Verified)

Donating by mail or in person. If you prefer send a check or even donate in person, we will mail you a receipt or give it to you on the spot. Casa can receive donations Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (except holidays) or by appointment. If you wish to discuss your donation, please call Lorenzo Alba, our executive directior, at 575-523-5542. Thank you!
