Border Kindness

Please help Border Kindness provide children and teens with a gift this holiday season! In the past our annual Toy Drive has depended greatly on the use of a gift list from the large online retailer! NOT THIS YEAR! This year we depend on you - OUR COMMUNITY - to help ensure all kids and teens receive gifts! DONATE $ NOW and we will purchase most needed gifts locally. META still is finding ways to keep us from raising funds via insta - BUT PLEASE DONATE AND HELP COMMUNITY despite META!

As Border Kindness (BK) enters our 8th year we celebrate this image! BK was born when one person decided they had had enough of Trump and the USA's ongoing unjust immigration policy! BK started thriving a few month's later when 9 amazing women from Mexico joined the team! To date we have served more than 1.1 MILLION MEALS, helped 7,000+ people obtain asylum/ residency, and provided medical care, access to education and much more to thousands of other people - including agricultural workers in USA! BK thanks every person who has helped along the way! It is an honor and privilege to work for justice! Thank you for allowing us to share this image each "holiday" season! A special thank you this year to the amazing men who make up for their generosity and grace! Peace and justice from Mexicali, Mexico!
