The Migrant Resource Center is a collaborative effort between the humanitarian organization No More Deaths, Frontera de Cristo border ministry, and the Sagrada Familia Catholic parish. It is located in Agua Prieta next to the port of entry where repatriated migrants are dropped off, and offers food, water, and medical attention. They also document human rights violations and provide orientation to the city of Agua Prieta.

 CAME (Centro de Asistencia a los Migrantes en Exodo) is a ministry of a Catholic Parish in Agua Prieta. They have developed a program with volunteers to provide a meal and sleeping facilities for migrants.

 Café Justo (Just Coffee) is a Cooperative formed with the help of the Frontera de Cristo. It is made up of 40 families in Chiapas, Mexico, where coffee farmers are suffering from the drastic reduction of demand for their coffee due to NAFTA and cheaper coffees on the world market.
