Since 2010 every holiday season we have worked on the ‘Canastas Navideñas’ campaign. We deliver necessity baskets to families in need in Nicaragua. These baskets consist of nonperishable foods, soap, cooking oil, hygiene products, and more during the holiday season. Most years we have also included toys for children that live in the households. In recent years we have expanded our footprint to neighboring countries in Central America.

Do you need more information?

100% of donations received for this campaign will go directly into purchasing the items that make up each basket.

5lbs of Beans, 5lbs of Rice, Oatmeal, Noodles, Milk, Cooking Oail, Soap for Laundry, Soap for Dishes, Hygiene Products, Toys among other things.

How much does each basket cost?

Due to social political crisis in the country, prices of goods has risen exponentially. The basket with all items costs $18 in 2021 this year the same items now cost $27.

Who and when are they handed out?

Chavalos has a team of volunteers in the country that seek out areas of families and need and they give out the donations during Christmas or a few weeks after depending on logistics.

How new is this project?

This campaign has been ongoing since 2010. Here are some links to earlier ‘Entregas’.
