MCT Exchange Raised almost $8,000 for SD Rescue Mission!
We are also honored to partner San Diego Rescue Mission and Plaza Home Mortgage to raise funds for homeless men, women, and children in San Diego.
Every night, thousands of men, women and children in San Diego County don’t have a place to call home. The reasons they experience homelessness may surprise you:
- Losing a job or a loved one
- Rising rent prices
- Health issues and battles with addiction
- Struggling as a single parent to make ends meet
With the donation, we are helping our neighbors experiencing these challenges to have a place to turn for immediate help and long-term healing.
