Dedicated to the San Diego Community

Thank You, San Diego!

The 2025 Movers for Moms® drive has officially wrapped, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make it a success. Together with 25 amazing local businesses, we collected over 1000 comfort and care items to create more than 60 fully stocked care packages for mothers experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity.

All donations have been delivered to Father Joe’s Villages, just in time for Mother’s Day.

Who We Helped

This year’s donations supported mothers in transitional housing at Father Joe’s Villages, one of San Diego’s largest and most impactful homeless services providers. Their programs offer housing, healthcare, food, and supportive services for families rebuilding their lives.

What We Collected

Thanks to our generous community, we gathered hundreds of essential and thoughtful items, including:

• Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash

• Diapers and baby wipes

• Moisturizing lotion and face masks

• Hair accessories and slippers

• Tote bags, blankets, and personalized self-care gifts

These items were bundled into beautiful care packages to bring comfort, dignity, and a little joy to local moms on Mother’s Day.
