Thank you for your thoughtful donations. The items collected will be sorted by our team of volunteers and used to decorate the small homes and Cottages that Casas de Luz builds and furnishes. The next time you’re cleaning out your closet, beginning a new remodel, or switching up your furniture, think of us!

All of our donations are used either in Mexico or for low-income families in the US. Every build our decorating team “goes shopping” in our storage sheds in Tijuana to make the house into a home. The furniture and decorations instantly change the house from just a small structure to being a home in which the family will live and prosper.

Re-purpose.

By using donations from the US, we keep our building costs at a minimum. We recycle windows to keep our costs low and re-use something that would otherwise end up in the landfill. Volunteers love knowing that their donations are going to a good place where they will be sure to be loved and used. If knowing where your donation is going will help you buy that new couch, go for it!

Donation Sheds at St. James Church

If you would like to drop off donations at our sheds, please contact us so that we can prepare! Sheds are at the end of the parking lot of the church if coming from the North. If you are coming from the South, take Via de la Valle and drive towards the ocean. On Del Mar Downs Road, turn right and continue until the end of the road where you will turn left. Drive left up the hill and the sheds will be on your left!

If you would like to schedule a donation pick-up please contact us. We will pick up donations if they are too large or there are too many to take to the shed. Thank you!
