I agree,  do you know when?  I will be there late October.  I can try to bring some "shrunken" clothes.  They used to fit me.

We are also going to be in the Big Bend / Terlingua are late Oct early Nov and have food and clothing that we would like to donate to the folks of Boquillas. How do we find out about getting it to them?

I wrote them an email.  Got an email address from their website, but got no reply.  I am just taking the clothes myself when I go next week.

You may want to contact Cynta de Narvaez, she is a member here and you can PM her. She is involved with a project for Boquillas and lives in Terlingua.
There is also a bench outside of the Study Butte store (the mall) that people leave clothes on as well.

Please remember that anyone thinking of going to Boquillas will be subjected to a large fine if aprehended while coming back illegally.

There's got to be something better than
In the middle....

Cool, thanks..  I will look for her.   Oh and, no, I wasn't going to Boquillas myself.  I was thinking of heading out to the sand hill, There is always someone there that can pick up the items for them.

Better to try email, she hasn't been active for quite a while.

Ok, I sent her a message.  I'm still waiting on reply from haricotvert.com.  Six days left... I may end up with just taking the items myself.  I'm sure Victor or someone will distribute them fairly.
