For more than a decade Entreamigos has been working together with our community to determine the areas that we can be most effective in supporting families and addressing their needs. Oftentimes our focus is children and education, but almost always, the challenges to education are more complicated than they seem. Through our adult education programs, we work to raise awareness about issues facing families such as domestic violence, alcoholism, sexual abuse and machismo practices.
Entreamigos provides clothing and food for families in crisis, social services referrals and psychology support, regular classes and workshops and several annual campaigns to outreach to new or overlooked community members.
Every year Entreamigos provides more than 200 backpacks filled with school supplies to local children. We also provide packs of school supplies to public school teachers throughout the school cycle.
Please support this effort by donating a backpack filled with any kind of school supplies.
During the Holidays, many San Pancho families could use a bit of extra support. Since 2006, Entreamigos has gathered this support in the form of food baskets and small toys to share with our local families. In 2022, generous donors from San Pancho and all over the world contributed to providing 150 local families with a generous gift of food, so that they too can enjoy the holiday season!
If you would like to support a Holiday Gift Basket, please use the link below. All donations will be used for the 2023 Holiday Gift Basket event.
You can also come make the baskets with us if you want! Please send an email to: info@entreamigos.org.mx
At Entreamigos we are aware of many additional needs in our community. Sometimes these needs are urgent like clothing after a flood or fire, sometimes they are ongoing like food or health support and sometimes they come as a surprise.
For this reason, we started our second-hand store Recicla Shop. The store serves as an emergency storeroom providing clothes and emergency items in times of need. Sales in the store support outreach and other kinds of community education and support. In the back of the Recicla Shop is an odd collection of items that we often loan out in our community: crutches, blankets, mattresses, wheelchairs etc.
