CCSA celebrates another year of Hunger Walk. On Saturday, April 27, 2019, a crowd of supporters got out of bed early on Saturday morning and walked to bring attention to hunger in San Diego, where one out of every six children has been found to be at risk for hunger, and to raise funds to help solve the problem of hunger. To date, over $29,000 has been raised for this cause. We give thanks to all those who walked, and to all of those who donated, and to Emma’s Gut Bucket band, who entertained us the entire event.
WHEN VOLUNTEERS COME TOGETHER, MAGIC HAPPENS!
We love our volunteers!
So wonderful and hardworking!
Twenty-eight volunteers from Clairemont Lutheran Church, friends and CCSA Board Members came together for a food sorting day. Working together, ALL the approximately 350-400 Sprouts donation bags were sorted and boxed along with the fresh fruits/vegetables in the garage. They had tables set up to cover the entire patio including the back patio and worked a long day getting everything ship-shape. When all was sorted and stored, they cleaned up the storage areas and even the kitchen! It was great to see so many hard working people; we are truly lucky to have this kind of support! Thank you Clairemont Lutheran Church and all the volunteers!
The mission of the Community Christian Service Agency, an ecumenical Christian agency, is to provide emergency services to individuals and families in need in San Diego County, including food, clothing, and referrals, and where practical, counseling to assist in their transition to self-reliance.

INVISIBLE PEOPLE
As we listen to voices that too often are not heard, let us put ourselves in the place of those who cry for assistance. CCSA shares this true story for awareness of those who struggle, fight for a sleeping place, are hungry, and often cold and gripped with fear for their safety. Many simply don’t know what happened, it all developed so fast. A crisis is a crisis, no matter how it took place. How can we help and shouldn’t we always respond?
Men, Women & Children’s new or gently used Sandals, sneakers or Flip/flops

SOCK DRIVE! THANK YOU TO THE INTERNAL OPERATIONS BRANCH FOR THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO AND ITS 500 EMPLOYEES FOR THEIR SOCK DONATION!
The Internal Operations Branch for the City of San Diego -- which oversees the five departments of Purchasing and Contracting, Real Estate Assets, Information Technology, Fleet Operations and Human Resources, and represents over 500 City employees -- has generously donated 750 pairs of socks for men, woman and children in need from their "Sock Drive" to CCSA!
This "Sock Drive” was a voluntary effort established and organized by the Branch's own employees to give back to our communities during the holiday season. The generous efforts of these employees generated over 2,000 pairs of socks that they shared with three different organizations including CCSA.
