SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY ASSIST | Paving the way for a brighter San Diego.

With schools shutting down in response to the pandemic and online learning becoming normal, there are a lot of families whose kids are struggling because they do not own a personal computer or laptop. The team at San Diego Community Assist want to ensure that these families and their children can see hope in such dark times. To do our part in supporting the community we will be issuing laptops to kids and giving food boxes to people and families in need. The giveaway will happen on March 13, 2021, and our goal leading up to this event is to raise $25,000. We’re dedicated to the cause of helping as many kids and families as possible and we’re here to ask for your assistance in helping the community of San Diego. All your donations will be put towards putting laptops and food into the hands of families who need it.

We’re grateful for all your donations and your time and we hope that together we can put a smile on many faces during these times and make a difference where it counts the most.

However, San Diego air quality suffers from frequent and prolonged periods of unhealthy ozone pollution. San Diego smog, or visible air pollution, is among the nation’s worst.
