Coming down to San Felipe soon. Bringing dog food for rescue, what are other suggestions for churches, schools, orphanage? Are there other organizations that have a wish list?

Yes, The Food Bank/ Volunteers Unlimited needs a stainless steel work table, a Vita Mix Blender, a used donated laptop for Patty whose died on her. They always need Canes, Crutches, walkers & wheel chairs & always accept food donations. Any of these will be happily appreciated.

There is a place north of the main street heading in to town . Go left at the street at the oxo by the monument .Two stop signs then right two more stops to eucalyptus. it is a thrift store that gives it proceeds to a woman's shelter . Do what is right not what is correct don't listen to the people who tell you it is not legal to bring old clothes in to baja . Pack it low in your truck and know you are doing right thing .

Many thanks for great suggestions! As it so happens, I have a couple of canes and a walker leftover from hip replacement. Wish I'd thought of the shoes--I donated my late husband's already. Oh, well, I'm sure I'll have some of mine since I'm downsizing to an rv in the next few months. The next time our SPCA has a $1 a bag sale, I'll know what to get.

What would the schools like?

Always the school needs school supplies, such as spiral notebooks , pencils , crayons, tablets etc. It is never ending that some cannot even go to school because they cannot afford the supplies so you can give directly to them(children) also.
99+1 is presently needing supplies for elder care also. Toiletries such as , soap, wash cloths , toothbrushes & paste, shampoo & conditioner
these things are in demad all the time here for folks who have no families to help with their care. Many of us save, soaps, lotions, shapoo & conditioner from our motel stays when traveling & donate them to these people. I am presently collecting items right now for donation to this good cause.
