Suggested shopping list for items other than food

Our hope is that while you’re on the ministry base with us in Mexico, you feel at home.  Our mindset is that, "Mi casa es tu casa" (My
house is your house).  In order to keep your mission trip fees as low as possible, we allow teams to purchase some of their items for
their stay on the Mission Base.  You can save money by doing this rather than us having to incur extra cost for this service.

Taking this in mind, here's a suggested shopping list for your time while in Mexico.  It is best to purchase main items in the States
before crossing the border (costs are less and selection is better).   Please consult the website for a recommended shopping center
close to the border.

locally if you wish.
