Holiday Giving Reaches South Bay Families
Chula Vista, CA, Each year, the hardships that prevent many of our South Bay families from having enough food, proper clothing or school supplies, also prevent them from having many of the joys of the holidays. Together with community members, organizations, and local businesses, South Bay Community Services (SBCS) is able to make sure the wishes of hundreds of children, youth and family members come true!
There is no small donation. Collectively, we can bring holiday cheer to families in need. Last year, community support allowed us to touch the lives of more than 1,400 through the SBCS Holiday Giving Program; join us as we, once again, work to bring joy to South Bay families.
