Kindness Initiative serves households in the San Diego Jewish community that struggle with financial insecurity – a little known, but substantial problem. A 2019 study found that more than 20% of the 50,000 Jewish households in San Diego are living at, or below, the poverty level. With the Covid pandemic, the number of families in need has only increased.There are many fine, local social service programs to assist people in need, but navigating the maze of resources can be so overwhelming that many eligible people find themselves unable to access the life enhancing support available to them and their families.Kindness Initiative works in partnership with Service Providers and trained volunteers, to help our Members access services so they can live with dignity and identify a way forward. Together, our work fulfills the mitzvot of G’milut Hasadim – acts of loving kindness; Tzedakah – providing monetary and material support; Tikkun Olam – our actions to improve the world.
