Mission of Mercy
Extrema Pobreza Onboard is born from a deep desire to serve Christ in those most in need. This division is dedicated to seeking out, feeding, clothing, and accompanying people living in extreme poverty — those who sleep under bridges, by train tracks, or on forgotten city streets across Latin America and the United States.
Our mission is to bring mercy where no one else reaches. Every encounter with a brother or sister in need becomes an act of love, an opportunity to console Christ Himself in the face of the suffering. We distribute hot meals and clean water, clothing and blankets, personal hygiene items, basic medicines and first aid, and most importantly—words of comfort, faith, and prayer.
"I was hungry and you gave me food; I was cold and you clothed me; I was lost and you found me." — Inspired by Matthew 25:35-40
The name "Onboard" represents the missionary spirit of this work: a mobile mission that travels streets, communities, and borders to find and help the forgotten. Volunteer teams and missionaries travel to different regions to locate, assist, and uplift the most vulnerable, bringing not only material help but also spiritual hope.
Bringing mercy, dignity, and hope to those living in extreme poverty
Nutritious, freshly prepared meals served with dignity and love. Clean drinking water for those with no access to safe hydration.
Warm clothing, coats, blankets, and shoes for those exposed to the elements. Restoring dignity through proper attire.
Basic hygiene items that restore dignity and health—soap, toothbrushes, sanitary products, and personal care essentials.
Over-the-counter medications, wound care, and basic first aid for those with no access to healthcare.
Words of hope, prayer, and the presence of Christ. Every person receives not just material aid but spiritual accompaniment.
Regular visits to establish relationships and provide consistent support. We don't just give once—we walk alongside.

"When they came with hot food and blankets, I felt like a human being again. But what really changed my life was when they prayed with me. Nobody had done that in years."
"Volunteering with Extrema Pobreza Onboard opened my eyes to the reality of poverty in our own city. It's not about giving from abundance—it's about encountering Christ in the suffering."
"They didn't just give me food—they sat with me, learned my name, and came back week after week. That consistency gave me hope to get back on my feet."
True love is not limited to words—it is demonstrated through action. Join us in serving, healing, and lifting up those the world has forgotten.
