the Caravan of LoveWe host monthly caravans to shelters in Tijuana, bringing essential supplies to migrants who are awaiting asylum, have been deported, are in the midst of their journey to the United States, or are working to build a new life in Tijuana. Many arrive with only the clothes on their backs and find refuge in overcrowded shelters with limited resources.
We support more than 11 shelters, including spaces for women, women with children, men, and LGBTQ+ migrants. During our caravans, volunteers pack and distribute cleaning supplies, hygiene kits, clothing, baby items, and food to provide both relief and dignity. By joining a caravan or making a donation, you help ensure that families and individuals have the basic necessities they need to survive and take the next steps in their journey. |

If you would like to volunteer for the Caravan of Love, please keep the following in mind before signing up:
- Transportation: This is a true caravan, and we rely on volunteers to help transport donated items to the shelters. You will need your own vehicle.
- Travel Documents: A valid passport, Sentri, or Global Entry is required to cross the border.
- Border Wait Times: If you do not have Sentri or Global Entry, re-entry to the United States can take time. On Saturday afternoons, wait times are often 2–3 hours.
- Donations: The more items you can bring, the greater the impact. We encourage volunteers to help gather donations in advance.
