Family-to-Family for the Holidays was a success in spreading Christmas cheer to many San Diego families in need. December 2022 marked the second year of Family-to-Family, which is our version of the popular Adopt-A-Family holiday program. 67 families, with at least 250 individuals combined, were supported through this campaign. Each family included at least one client who receives services from our early childhood education, mental and behavioral health clinic, or substance use disorder treatment programs.

More than 47 individual donors and groups came together to make this possible. We extend a special thank you to the following organizations who sponsored one or more families: ColRich, St. Andrew’s by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, Christ Episcopal Church, Grace Episcopal Church, Girl Scouts San Diego, and ECS Board of Directors.
