“Well, it’s a beautiful experience how every week families are coming from different parts of the world, and when they get to Camino, we love them and we uplift them from an emotional and spiritual point of view.” – Amittay Rodriguez, Pastor at Camino Church
Fanny Ramirez
“Camino has helped me a lot. I had knee problems and one day I came here… They checked me. I couldn’t walk. I got in hopping on one leg. They gave me a walker and a wheelchair. I get emotional because I never imagined I would enter like that and then I left with a walker and a wheelchair.” – Fanny Ramirez, Camino Vida and Camino Clinic Patient
Tatiana
“I am also working at Camino as an accounting assistant. I just feel so happy that I am actually fulfilling one of my biggest dreams, which is to go to college and get a degree, and I am actually going to be the first one in my family who graduates from a four-year university.” – Tatiana Ruano, Assistant Director of Finance at Camino

Parish
“Camino to me is a place you can go where you know you’re going to be treated fairly… I’ve been coming here for at least 12 years or so. They give top quality food and supplies and I’m grateful just to be able to come here. They always seem to be friendly and for the length of time I’ve been coming, we recognize each other, and it’s like a friendship. You get to where you look forward to coming.” – Parish, Food Farmacy Client
Our Values
We make Soup Not Salad
A salad can never offer true unity–ingredients are tossed together to make a plate of separate pieces. Instead, we are a soup. Each person brings their unique flavor to the bowl, but we are one unified dish.
Our Values
We Fly Like Geese
Geese fly in formation, united in focus and purpose. Each goose contributes to the whole and serves an important purpose. Like geese, we fly in unity while caring for one another.
Our Values
We Cross Borders
Crossing borders is a dangerous and messy business. But that’s the business we’re in. We go places others have never been before and do things others will never dare to do!
Our Values
We Laugh
Laughing doesn’t mean that everything is always easy—it means that even in the difficult times our faith brings joy that transcends circumstance and so we bring joy to those around us.
Our Values
We Recycle
We live in a “replaceable” culture. When our clothes tear, we don’t mend them, we throw them away. But at Camino, because we value people and resources, we don’t replace–we recycle.
