A young veteran in her mid 20s had fallen on hard times and was struggling to make ends meet. She had served in the military for 4 years and had been honorably discharged. Since she had no family members to stay with, her only option was to share a place with 6 roommates in an undesirable neighborhood. With no car and little hope, she made it to our Pacific Beach facility and met with one of our caring guidance counselors.
They immediately provided the young woman with the proper resources to get her back on her feet, into a safe place and the encouragement to start a new life.

In the true spirit of “helping people at all times”, Bay Park Boy Scout Troop 170 was responding to the CCSA Backpack drive for school children. They met at St. Mary Magdalene to sort and put together their backpack donations.
Many thanks to Pioneer Ocean View Church for 6 cartons of Hygiene Kits for those in need. This gift to the agency provides much needed items for those who struggle each day for some of the basics we often take for granted. Nicely done Pioneer Ocean View United Church of Christ!
