The Castillo Torres Project is a Texas nonprofit corporation currently preparing its federal 501(c)(3) tax-exempt application.
A small family, starting with care.
The Castillo Torres Project began with a simple desire to help our community with dignity, care, and no expectation of praise or recognition. We are a small family in Brownsville, Texas, and we care deeply about the community we call home. Our work is beginning simply: meals, hygiene items, water, socks, care bags, and practical support as we are able.
We are not a large relief network. We are building this slowly and responsibly, with the hope of welcoming volunteers and community partners as the project grows.
Practical care, offered with dignity.
Our outreach is focused in our community in Brownsville. Each item below is something we either carry now, or are working to carry consistently.
Meals
Hot or packaged meals shared during downtown outreach.
Water
Bottled water on warm days and cold weeks alike.
Hygiene Items
Soap, wipes, toothbrushes, deodorant, and basic personal care.
Socks & Clothing
Fresh socks and seasonally appropriate clothing.
Care Bags
Small backpacks with essentials, assembled as donations allow.
Human Connection
A respectful conversation and a moment of dignity.
Every gift becomes something tangible.
Donations help us prepare for outreach in a practical way — a case of water, a box of socks, hygiene items, packaged food, or supplies for care bags. Every contribution helps us carry more support when we go out into the community.
- Bottled water and packaged meals
- Hygiene items and fresh socks
