Greetings from the Part-time Expat! The focus of today’s blog is helping others. A few blogs ago I wrote about Feeding Los Cabos Kids, an outstanding organization in Cabo that places kitchens in areas of high need to serve meals to local residents. I have had the privilege of volunteering for this organization in their kitchens prepping meals. My favorite task is serving the sandia (watermelon), as it is always a big hit!
The organization I want to feature today is Heart4Cabo, a faith-based establishment founded in 2014 in reaction to the devastation caused by hurricane Odile. Heart4Cabo continues to raise donations to help Cabo residents with food, water, clothing, medical attention, and education. They have also provided assistance to locals with home construction, business start-ups, and counseling services.
On our last visit to Cabo, we were able to combine fun and philanthropy once again! I have written before about my husband’s love of fishing, and he is not alone in our condo complex. By this point in the season, he and many of our friends have participated in tournaments and spent numerous days out on the water, which results in more fish than any of us can possibly eat. So we reached out to fishing friends in our complex and among all of us compiled a large donation of fish to share with Heart4Cabo to use in their outreach kitchens.
We also asked leaders to identify additional needs for their organization. Currently, there appears to be a need for dishes, Tupperware style to go containers, and clothing. If you live locally and would like to help with this, please contact Hear4Cabo and they will arrange pick up. If you are not local and would like to donate or sponsor a family, please follow the links to the website to see how to best help.
