Holiday Drive

October 15, 2021 - December 15, 2021

Whether you’re feeling a new autumn crispness in the air, enjoying the changing of the leaves, or making time to cozy up with family, we hope you are enjoying your fall! The last few chilly mornings have reminded us that the holidays are just around the corner! 

This holiday season, we are calling on our community for help. We are hosting our 2nd Annual Holiday Drive and are looking for partners to help our families. From October 15th – December 15th, 2021 we will collect new and unused children’s toys, clothes, and baby items for our Women veterans and their families. This year, we are aiming to provide 100 veteran families with the holiday they so deserve. Will you help us ensure each family who comes in for support doesn’t miss out this holiday season? 

There are many ways to support: 

  • Purchase items off of our Holiday Amazon Wishlist HERE 
  • Host a corporate/employee drive. Book an appointment to pick up a collection box HERE 
  • Make a monetary contribution to support our Holiday Drive HERE

    The Women’s Bureau of the U.S. Department of Lab The Women’s Bureau of the U.S. Department of Labor reported the median childcare price for a family with one child ranged from $4,810 to $15,417 in 2018. Today, childcare costs continue to increase significantly. An infant enrolled in licensed childcare in San Diego costs an average of $19,000, a price tag more costly than in-state college tuition. According to the San Diego Foundation Workforce, Childcare & Change Report, Californian’s pay 26% higher than the national average for childcare, and San Diego is 15% higher than the state average. For many, this reality threatens not only their financial stability, but potentially their employment. Our childcare program allows women veterans to focus on their education and advancing their careers while their children are in safe and reliable care.
