World Kindness Day Donation Drive

The holiday season can be a challenging time for seniors living alone, especially those who have lost a spouse or have family far away. To bring joy to these “Solo-Agers,” Solana Beach Community Connections (SBCC) is preparing for its annual Holiday Baskets distribution. SBCC members assemble and personally deliver beautiful gift baskets to “Solo-Agers” who may be experiencing loneliness.  

SBCC’s mission is two-fold. First, identify mature adults who are residents of Solana Beach and are living alone. If you know someone needing an extra dose of joy, email name and contact information to info@solanabeachcc.org. Second, to help fill these baskets, SBCC is collecting gift items. 

The City of Solana Beach is partnering with SBCC for the winter Solana Beach Cares donation drive. Items from the list may be dropped off beginning Monday, November 2, at the Solana Beach City Hall, 635 S. Highway 101, between 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Thursday. The Solana Beach City Hall is closed on alternate Fridays. This donation drive ends Thursday, December 10, after which assembly and delivery begin.

Donation items include:

If you'd like for SBCC to do your shopping, you may write a check instead of donating items from the list.
