Amor Ministries, Inc.

Amor works to meet the needs of the poor in Mexico through providing new homes for over 1,200 families per year. Also providing food, school supplies and other basic needs.

How do you help people in my community?

Amor provides the opportunity for individuals from all over the world to participate in making a difference in the lives of families. Through this participation, people will not only take time to serve in Mexico, but will likely come home and serve in their local communities. We feel strongly about making a difference not only in the lives of the families we serve, but also in the participants who give their time to serve, creating change internationally and on a continuous basis in their local communities.

Why do you need my support?

100% of Amor's budget  is provided through direct fundraising in the local community and from individuals across the world. The future of our organization and of the thousands of  people we serve lies in the generosity of individuals who share our vision to take action when others are suffering. Your support is neccessary to make a difference in the lives of people in need. We not only need your support, we rely on it.

How can I be sure that you will use my money wisely and won't waste it?

• Amor Ministries operates as a non-profit organization registered in the State of California under section 501(c)3 of the IRS code.
• 85% of Amor Ministries' income goes straight into the programs so that more people are able to benefit from the work that is being done.
