San Diegans Care!

One of the greatest parts of being a San Diegan is the enormous amount of caring that is evident in our
town. If there is a need, San Diegans come to the rescue. The Staff at San Diego Woman is so proud of
the women of this town and the way they work together to help make a difference. We would like to take
this opportunity to highlight some of the wonderful charities that have come to our attention recently for
the amazing work that they do every single day!

The San Diego Center for Children is the oldest charity in San Diego. As such it has been helping the families of San Diego for over 123
years. Each year they have a wonderful Gala dinner in recognition of the volunteers who work every day to support those in need. Nearly
400 guests celebrated this wonderful cause, raising over $300,000 to help keep this charity alive.
The San Diego Center for Children are experts in helping children and adolescents face and heal mental health challenges. The Center
often provides a safe harbor for children with no place to go. Their education program is one of the best in the county, and they provide
both professional and personal help to children in need. The Center boasts a highly-skilled team of dedicated professionals who know how
to reverse destructive behavior in children and help give them back a normal childhood.
The Center is in need of donations, not only monetary, but supplies and volunteers. To find out how you can help visit their site at
