Alano Club
The San Diego Alano Club is a non-profit 501c3 organization dedicated to providing a safe, sober and supportive environment for individuals in recovery from alcoholism and other addictions. We are an inclusive community, welcoming all who seek to find or maintain a life of sobriety through the principles of the 12-step programs. Founded on the principles of fellowship and mutual support, the San Diego Alano Club serves as a hub for a wide variety of 12-step meetings, including Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Al-Anon, and more. Our facilities offer a central meeting space, a welcoming lounge for fellowship before and after meetings, and a sense of community for those on their journey to recovery.
Voices for Children transforms the lives of abused children in San Diego County by providing them with volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs). We believe that every child deserves a safe and permanent home, and to that end, will review and monitor every court file in the system, provide a CASA to every child in the foster care system who needs one, and advocate to improve the lives of San Diego County's foster children.* In addition, Voices for Children increases awareness about the foster care system, and advocates for legal policies and practices that enhance the quality of life for foster children.
San Diego's Ronald McDonald House is a community-supported "home away from home" for families caring for critically ill or injured children at local hospitals. Our 47-room House provides a place to stay for 5,000 people a year, keeping families close to their hospitalized children. Thousands more make use of our Family Care Center during the day for meals, computer access, play spaces, and more, taking a break from the often stressful hospital environment. We are grateful to the many volunteers and donors across our community whose contributions help ensure that our House is open to families during their time of crisis. Please visit our website to donate, volunteer, or learn more.
