Solana Beach Cares - Seasonal Donation Drives

Solana Beach Cares

The City of Solana Beach is proud to introduce Solana Beach Cares, a new community-driven program designed to support local residents and families through Seasonal Kindness Drives. As part of the broader City of Kindness Initiative, the program offers a meaningful way for the community to come together, season after season, by donating essential items for those in need. Each seasonal drive will focus on a specific area of support relevant to that time, giving residents a simple and easy way to give back. Every donation, big or small, will go directly to a neighbor who could use a little extra care and support.

Solana Beach Cares is a year-round program rooted in kindness and powered by the community. It is more than just a donation effort, it’s a citywide invitation to show up for one another and help foster a culture of compassion. We invite you to join this ongoing effort as we continue to build a kinder, more connected Solana Beach.

Holiday Basket Donation Drive (November 2 - December 10)

Our winter donation drive is focused on supporting local seniors this holiday season! Toward the end of the year, Solana Beach Community Connections (SBCC) creates Gift Baskets to brighten the holidays for mature adults living in Solana Beach, especially those who may be experiencing hardships, loneliness, or are living alone because close family members have relocated to distant locations.

Join Solana Beach Community Connections to restore a caring community connection. You can help by donating any of these items:

  • 2027 Calendars
  • Crossword/Sudoku Puzzles (Large Print)
  • Hot Chocolate Packets
  • Holiday Mugs
  • Holiday Chocolates or Mints
  • Life Savers or Similar Hard Candy
