The cold breeze and the winter chill, holiday shopping rush, hot cocoa, colors of red and gold – these are just some of the signs that the holidays is just around the corner. Practically everyone is excited to spend their holidays with friends and loved ones, but this is also the perfect opportunity to share your blessings with others. That’s why we decided to come up with this list of charitable events in San Diego during this holiday season!

While most of us may be spending time in merrymaking, others may not be as fortunate. Sadly, some of them may be spending this season on the streets without food and proper shelter.

Blessed are the hearts of the people who think of others before their own needs. As part of the San Diego community, we can all work hand in hand to provide homeless individuals with something to enjoy this time of the year,
