Learn More About Our 2026 Day of Service

In 2026, we’re partnering with Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego and their outstanding program Rachel’s Women’s Center, which is a trusted refuge for unhoused or very low-income women that offers a drop-in day center complete with bathroom, shower and laundry facilities, clothing and meal service, mental-health screening, resource specialists and more.
On this impactful day, architects, engineers, designers and contractors will unite to transform a meaningful local space into something beautiful and lasting. This project will provide women with a safe, supportive environment in which to rebuild, reconnect and regain stability, dignity and a fresh start.
Whether you’re volunteering your expertise, sponsoring materials, or amplifying our message — your involvement in #ProjectSanDiego is essential. Together, we’ll build more than just structures; we’ll build hope
