Contra Viento y Marea Comedor

El Comedor is an autonomous, Central American caravan-run kitchen and community space in Tijuana, MX that opened up February 2019 in response to the continuous waves of asylum seekers migrating north and waning international aid efforts. The most basic goal of this project is to provide food, clothing, and encouragement to the many Central American migrants who pass through (and often get trapped in) Tijuana as they flee from the gang-related, economic, political, and environmental violence they are faced with in their home countries. The space serves 300+ free meals a day, all prepared for and by migrantes. There is also a rooftop donation center and vegetable garden.
