Solana Beach Cares - Seasonal Donation Drives

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 kindness. We invite you to join this ongoing effort as we continue to build a kinder, more connected Solana Beach.

This Season, We Care for Moms

To kick off Solana Beach Cares, this season’s Kindness Drive is focused on supporting moms and caregivers in our community. Aligned with Mother’s Day, the Spring Kindness Drive is a chance to give back to those who give so much, including new parents, single moms, grandmothers, and anyone caring for little ones with love.

This spring, we’re collecting Mother’s Essentials such as new or gently used items that help make daily life a little easier for both the mom and their children. Items like diapers, baby wipes, nursing pads, self-care products, and more will go directly to local families who could use some extra support this season.
