Growing up in Todos Santos, Aarón Cota was the kind of guy who drove out to local ranches after storms to help families rebuild. When he passed away in 2015 at just 30 years old, his friends and family made a simple decision. His work was not going to stop.
Today, a completely volunteer run crew carries his name and his exact mission forward. Every month, they gather to pack “despensas” for about 65 folks in town and out on the ranches. It is a very hands on effort. The team buys 50 pound sacks of beans, rice, and sugar, and then portions them into household bags with canned goods and a frozen chicken.
Every peso and every ounce of food goes directly to a neighbor. If you want to support a truly local cause, they take food and clothing drop offs on Wednesdays between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm on Rangel, between Zaragoza and Morelos. You can also message Isabella on WhatsApp to see what the volunteers need most this week.

Customs Reminder for Incoming Houseguests
If you have friends or family flying into SJD this season, give them a quick heads up about current customs rules to save them a headache. Mexican customs is strictly enforcing the ban on all electronic cigarettes and vapes. Bringing them in is illegal and results in immediate confiscation and heavy fines at the airport. Also, remind your guests that they are limited to bringing in three liters of alcohol and up to $500 USD in new goods before getting hit with import taxes.
