Christmas in the Summer

Get into the Spirit Now!

We all know how wonderful it feels to give to others during the holiday season.

Why wait until December?

The summer months tend to show a steep decline in material donations. Our Christmas in the Summer campaign is our way of making sure our thrift store shelves are stocked, generating necessary funds to help the homeless and poor all year long.

Getting into the spirit now is easy and simple. By partnering with your neighbors, colleagues or church community to donate household goods, you support those in need, and a stronger San Diego for all.
