“Very peaceful and wonderful atmosphere at this mosque. The community is welcoming and always kind, and their imams are quite knowledgeable and available to answer any questions.”
“Words cannot express how grateful I am for this foundation. My dog was recently diagnosed with pyometra, a life-threatening condition that requires emergency surgery. I was desperate to save her, but the cost was simply more than we could afford.
When the vet told me about this grant, I’ll admit I was skeptical at first because of all the scams out there. However, I was willing to try anything. We filled out the application and, incredibly, we were approved that same day.
I am so thankful I took that leap. This foundation didn’t just save my best friend; it restored my faith that there are still people who truly care about helping others. A special shout-out to Karen Kelly, who worked so hard on processing our application and communicating with us on what we needed. She even stayed a bit after hours to ensure everything was processed so the surgery could begin that evening. My baby is home now and recovering. Thank you for being a blessing to our family!”
“Joining IADAC was single handedly the best thing I've done as a new dealer. The help provided, and amazing perks are worth the membership and then some! I didn't know how much I didn't know, until they helped educate me. I'm constantly asking for help and advice and they are very willing to help.”
“We love the SD House Rabbit Society for rabbit adoptions, education on how to care for rabbits, grooming/nail trims, rabbit supplies, food, treats, toys and hay.”

THANK YOU.❣️??❤️”
“I love this church! Great teachings, and friendly people. If your looking for a smaller church, then this is a great choice. Also the deciplship ( impact 195) is life changing. Great folks over at thegathering@gracechaple”
“I didn't get a chance to connect with Jewish Families yet but I know from pass experience that it's a great place for resources and probably more that's what I was going to check out to see what resources they could help me with the nice gentleman gave me card to call them so now you have to have an appointment thank you I will be calling soon”
“My son loves it here. He made lots of new friends, took swimming lessons and enjoyed the weekly field trips and themes. We will be coming back next summer. Great staff too who are nice!”
“I ordered a book from these fantastic people and can't say enough about the great service and the condition of the book! I am also an author and I appreciate everything libraries and guilds do for literacy and freedom of choice. Thank you for what you do!!!”

“They serve matzo flat meal sometimes. Or they used to. Packaged. It's a food bank. To get food free of charge. Businesses donate sometimes here. Read the sign up front. When you arrive. It's kosher? Right?”
“Every time I arrive at LJCC, I am warmly greeted by a friendly face: I feel very welcomed! The IPhone/IPad class is excellent. Deborah is very patient with all of our questions. I’m excited to be learning Canasta and, again the instructor is excellent. The center is an asset to the La Jolla community’”
“The most organic non-profit I have ever seen in action. Beautiful people committed to serving physically disabled people of all ages access sports. They provide grants up to $500 per year to applicants who need money to train, travel and enter adaptive sports. God bless these people. Very professional and committed to social equality.”
“Great resource to get started on composting. I got worms and compost here. We got in-depth lesson on the best way to compost for our space and needs. This is the perfect pandemic activity. Bring the kids, teach them how to compost, bring your electronic to recycle while you're here.”
“✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨Visiting the Salk Institute for Biological Studies feels less like stepping onto a campus and more like entering a living sanctuary of intellect and discovery.
There is an alluring secrecy woven into the space—an unspoken awareness that behind its quiet walls, some of the world’s most groundbreaking scientific advancements are unfolding. You can feel it. Not loudly, but profoundly. It’s in the stillness of the courtyard, the symmetry of the architecture, the way light meets concrete as if designed to sharpen thought itself.
The energy here is unmistakable—focused, disciplined, and almost reverent. It carries the weight of innovation while remaining beautifully restrained. Every line, every material, every view toward the horizon feels intentional, as if the environment itself is a collaborator in discovery.
What makes the experience so powerful is that nothing is overstated. There are no distractions, no excess—just pure alignment between space and purpose. It leaves you with the sense that you are standing at the edge of something vast and transformative, even if you cannot see it directly.
The Salk Institute for Biological Studies is not simply a place of science—it is a quiet force of human potential, where mystery, energy, and intellect converge to shape the future.”
“An amazing organization for veterans getting out of the military. All efforts are set on your goals and ambitions. Catering to assist you in all manners possible. Many of the providers are prior service members. So they can relate to the service after separation. Candid on what they do and genuine on supporting your needs. Reach out and see the opportunity awaiting.”
“Great club. My son wanted to find a club where he could learn from skilled coaches to improve his own abilities, and compete with other teammates who also wanted to excel, while having fun. He loves it. In addition to coaching the kids in the game, they also teach and expect good sportsmanship (which not all clubs emphasize). Very positive environment that brings out the best in my son. In addition, they offer camps during school breaks for continued competitive skill building. The other parents are all terrific too; it's fun to go watch the kids' games together.”
“This is an absolutely amazing cause and thing that they do for our community. I’m very grateful that I’m able to reduce food waste while also feeding my family on a budget. My only constructive feedback is that some of the Lead volunteers can be pretty rude- I know they do a lot so I let it roll and it doesn’t take away from the great cause.”
“I've been coming to the 6th step house for 15 out 30 years of my sobriety and I am very proud to call this place my home group. I got sober in Boston and was quite use to the meetings there and struggled when I came to California. I went to many different meetings trying to find place where I felt comfortable. Finally I landed at a step house Saturday nooner and found the best meeting in San Diego! There was a lot of laughter, people made me feel welcome. Best of all the focus was about alcoholism and how to live sober, be useful and live from the heart. There are many meeting there and is all inclusive to everyone.”
“I'm stupid obsessed with diagonal crosswalks. This one traffic feature makes Encinitas Mainstreet one of my favorite North County destinations. The whole area is more pedestrian friendly with these crosswalks included in the design. There are a variety of breweries, restaurants, and things to do. I'm a huge fan of Candles on Tap- where you can create your own custom scented candle. Modern Times Taproom is a fave when I'm wanting a beer and I love the gelato shop. Parking can be a little tricky, but that's how it goes when you're steps away from the city's best dining/retail AND the beach. Go for sunset, stay for drinks & dinner. It's a great place to be!”
“I am the 69 yr. old senior on the right, I have Parkinsons so very shaky, very hard to do even simple things. I am pictured with one of my volunteers Rod who without his help I couldn't stay in my mobilehome. He helps me inside and out for 2 hrs. every other week. He plants, weeds, brings in delivered water, takes out trash, does small repairs. I also have a great lady Carol who helps me with my shopping, banking weekly. Case worker Angelica is great too helping me fill out paperwork, discuss my needs. I try to donate $100 4 times a yr. for service. I wasn't asked to write this but please donate to continue this fine senior help program in San Diego. Thanks, Jim”
“I started attending some of the Garden Club events this past couple of years and they are exceptionally well- organized, educational, a good variety of activities, and fun! The club facilitator really does a great job at switching things up. I especially love the annual holiday events. Garden Club grounds are lovely. I always go without expectations; I know that I'll learn something, I'll meet new people, and I go with an open-mindset and fun attitude! Great way to spend the day!”
“We just discovered this wonderful place! There is a fantastic kids play learning opportunity three days a week and if you’re looking for a great outdoor activity with a young child, this is a must do!”
