📚 Last year, we distributed more than 4,200 books to children experiencing educational inequalities throughout San Diego County. Every book supports a child’s literacy, which is the key that unlocks their imagination and inspires them to turn their dreams into reality. With your donation, we’ll be able to continue our education work and provide early childhood literacy support in the coming year, paving the way towards a brighter future for our youth!

💸 Last week, the UWSD-led San Diego County Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Coalition, made up of 45 trusted local organizations, gathered at the UWSD office to exchange ideas and collaborate on new strategies to reach and support more San Diegans next year.
