GET IN THE SPIRIT OF THANKSGIVING WITH LOCAL CHARITABLE OPPORTUNITIES
In the spirit of the Thanksgiving season, many charitable events and organizations in the San Diego area are still finding ways to support those in need despite the crazy year it’s been. Here are just a few that are thankful for anyone who can find a way to give back to our community. Support the Enlisted Project (STEP) It’s no secret that San Diego is home to thousands of active-duty military members as well as veterans. STEP aims to help junior active-duty enlisted members as well as recently discharged vets and their families (who are facing financial crises) through counseling, education, and grants. Every Thanksgiving season, STEP collects and distributes Thanksgiving food to these families in need, and they’re always looking for volunteers to make donations, sort and package food items, and make deliveries. Their goal is to provide Thanksgiving dinners to 200 military families in need. Visit STEPSoCal. org to contribute. Virtual O’side Turkey Trot During the month of November, turkey trots take the country by storm. The annual Oceanside Turkey Trot is a big one in San Diego, and this year it’s going virtual! That means you can participate in it anytime, anywhere from
Nov. 14–29. All you have to do is post your results and photos online to receive your commemorative swag. Your entry into the race can also support local beneficiaries like schools, scholarship funds, nonprofit foundations, and more. If you aren’t up for participating in the trot, there are also opportunities to volunteer for the event. Visit OSideTurkeyTrot.com to sign up. Embrace-A-Family This charitable event hosted by the Jewish Family Service organization every year is all about spreading holiday cheer to families in need. The program is most active during December, but because there are so many families in need all across San Diego, the charity work starts now. Embrace-A-Family is currently accepting gifts and monetary donations for single-parent families, military veterans, older adults living on a fixed income, and many others to help them create a truly meaningful and memorable holiday season. By becoming an “Embracer” you can support the people of our community in many ways. Visit JFSSD.org to learn more.
