COMMUNITY PARTNERS
PILT was founded towards the end of the Covid-19 pandemic when supply chain disruptions were affecting sources for food for those experiencing homelessness. The related decline in business revenue also translated to a decline in donations of essential items for PATH San Diego's clients. Therefore in 2021-2022, PILT directly engaged community partners for support. As pandemic restrictions were being eased and our presence in schools grew, we engaged community partners only as needed since the needs of our unhoused neighbors were being met through our partner schools.
It is truly a matter of pride for us that IKEA San Diego, the Helen Woodward Animal Center, and the San Diego Humane Society that were introduced to PATH by Brayden and Camila continue to partner with PATH San Diego, providing much-needed supplies and services to PATH's clients and their pets. Similarly, La Mesa Dental has been donating dental hygiene products to PILT since 2020, while the World Mission Society Church of God has generously donated socks, bookshelves, and bibles to PATH's supportive housing residents.
Our gratitude to our community partners knows no bounds. Thank you.

WORLD MISSION SOCIETY CHURCH OF GOD
Through the compassionate initiative of Ms. Tina Colera, Art Department Chair at Helix Charter High School, the World Mission Society Church of God donated 1,000 pairs of socks to PATH San Diego in 2021. Since then, the church has donated bookshelves and bibles to the "Valley Vista" supportive housing site.

LEMON GROVE GARDEN & NATURE CLUB
Mrs. Stephanie Klein and Mr. Shawn Sennett were a tremendous help with the therapeutic gardens at "Ivy" - the supportive housing site for seniors living with chronic medical conditions. Along with club members, they donated plants, cuttings, and composting assistance.

C.H.E.F
Mr. Calvin Herbin, food services supervisor at Helix Charter High School, sponsored (paid for and prepared) Christmas Dinner for the senior residents at "Ivy" in 2021 and prepared PILT's 1st anniversary meal for the veteran residents at "Zephyr" in 2022.
