Gift Bags of Generosity, Soroptimist Club of Coronado looking for donations

The Soroptimist Club of Coronado (SIC) is asking the Coronado community for help to collect and provide personal hygiene and toiletry items for women, their children, and independent teenage girls at the SIC’s annual Gift Bag Giveaway. The event will be held on Nov. 12 at 6 pm at the Coronado VFW Post 2422.

Your in-kind donation will help support survivors of human trafficking, domestic violence, and homelessness, as well as those in need of access to education and health services. As a club, SIC members will be assembling personal care items in holiday packaging to give to our partner groups.

Some of the groups receiving gift bags include:

  • Generate Hope
  • Point Loma Nazarene University Center for Justice and Reconciliation
  • Mary’s Guest House
  • Rotary Club Binacional
  • Bilateral Coalition Circulo De Mujeres
  • San Diego Youth Assistance Coalition Services

SIC hopes you will join them in the spirit of holiday gift giving and donate whatever you can in order to help deserving individuals meet their basic needs. The  Soroptimist Club is very grateful for your support and participation.
