SSP 2025
This year, we are excited to partner once again with the Sierra Service Project to work with communities in San Diego’s South Bay!
These communities have significant needs, and by assisting SSP, we will be providing support in the following areas this summer:
- Addressing housing needs and food insecurity.
- Offering hands-on support for community-led initiatives.
- Helping low-income residents with essential home repairs that would otherwise be costly.
We will be focusing on understanding and addressing important social issues, including poverty, immigration, and environmental concerns—issues that are particularly relevant in communities near the US-Mexico border.
Our service dates are from June 29 to July 5.
For more information, please contact Sam Putney at: [email protected].
Registration and payment options are below:
