Donate Clothing & Goods

Each guest at Casa Alitas receives a clean set of clothing and toiletries. Border Patrol and ICE discard their belongings. They arrive with only the clothes on their backs, which are often very worn, after a long, harrowing journey. We give clothes and toiletries to hundreds of guests each day. 

Your donations of clean, gently used items are very needed.
