Moving Forward Together

Host a JFS Safe Parking Program Dinner

Come together as a community and help change lives!

Join us in spreading kindness and compassion throughout our community by hosting a dinner for JFS Safe Parking Program participants. For many San Diegans experiencing homelessness, a warm meal and friendly company go a long way as they work to lift themselves up out of a difficult situation and get back on steady ground.

Together, we can show our Safe Parking Program participants that there is a community that cares for them. Gather your family, friends, colleagues, team or club to provide and serve dinners at one of our Safe Parking Lots located throughout San Diego and North County. Experience hands-on the meaningful difference your donation makes as you and your group provide vital nutrition assistance to your neighbors.

2. Donate & Serve

About the Safe Parking Program

The Safe Parking Program provides a safe and welcoming space for individuals and families living out of their cars to park each night, many of whom are experiencing homelessness for the first time. With supportive services, we create a pathway out of homelessness and help Safe Parking participants return to stable housing. Learn more here.
