About In-Kind Donations

Every year Project Amigo gives away hundreds of items donated by Rotary Clubs and individuals in the United States -- everything from soccer uniforms to laptop computers.

If you would like to donate ...

    Please contact us if you would like to donate any items. All donations are tax deductible.
    Most of these donations are brought to Mexico by visitors who bring them with their personal luggage, which is easy and inexpensive. Large items must be shipped which is costly and involves time-consuming paperwork to obtain government authorization. Do not mail any donated items either to our Novato address or to Mexico before discussing the donation with us. Please see our Contact Project Amigo page for easy ways to contact us, or simply e-mail us at inquiry@projectamigo.org.

A wheelchair accessible van was donated by the Salinas, California, Rotary Club through the efforts of Dr. Antonio Velasco, who was born in Colima and now practices medicine in Salinas. The van transports disabled people throughout the city of Colima.

Donate to Project Amigo by using your credit card on-line:

We bring used clothes, toys, pens and pencils and take away enormous blessings, acceptance, grace and love.

- Kathie Mayhew,
long-time Project Amigo volunteer
