A Young Veteran’s Story

Thanks to Sabrina Stern, Christ Lutheran Church members, and Thrivent Financial for their donation of 118 backpacks stuffed with school supplies for CCSA's Back to School Program! Thank you!

First location: Every 3rd Saturday of each month from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon. Visit Good Samaritan Episcopal Church at 4321 Eastgate Mall (Genesee at Eastgate Mall) in San Diego, for a warm shower, coffee, breakfast, and clothing! Second location: Christ Lutheran Church- 4761 Cass Street, San Diego, CA 92109. Showers are offered to the Homeless on the first Friday of each month. They start at 9am. Numbers are given out in the first half hour. Last two showers at 11am. The luncheon is served at 11:30. We are able to provide 20 showers. This is before the luncheon. It is important to be there at 9am . We loan towels to use. We supply soap and shampoo. We give new socks and underwear to those that take a shower.

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. CCSA thanks you all for your generous spirit from the top of our heads to the tips of our clients' warm toes! THANK YOU!

THANK YOU to Sprouts on Clairemont Drive, Genesee Avenue, and Rosecrans Street, and their shoppers who purchased filled "brown bags" of groceries, for their donation to CCSA! Sprouts and their shoppers are consistent supporters of CCSA and we apprecriate them!
