Shop for a cause and trade in stressful parking lots and long lines with peaceful online shopping, all while supporting these extraordinary organizations. Each year, we give a few suggestions on how easy it is to ‘do good’ during the holiday season and how different shopping choices can benefit non-profit, non-government organizations serving Mexico. Here are a few of our favs:

Corazon de Vida: Your purchase of these beautiful CDV logo gifts helps to support children of Baja California, in particular 13 different orphanages in Mexico. Proceeds go toward urgent and basic needs of the children like food, clothing, shelter and education.
