Want to help fix neighbors’ flood-ravaged homes? There’s a volunteer opportunity for that
San Diegans who want to volunteer to help clean and rebuild homes destroyed by the catastrophic January floods can still pitch in, including at two restoration efforts happening this weekend. Since Jan. 22, volunteer groups have stepped in to provide critical support in mucking out homes, helping with mold suppression and assisting thousands of displaced residents rebuild. Volunteer-led cleanups are held just about every week and weekend in affected neighborhoods. “The community members who have been doing this work since Jan. 22 deserve reinforcements, they deserve support from the broader community… and they deserve for us to do more,” said San Diego City Council President Sean Elo-Rivera, who along with Councilmembers Henry Foster III and Vivian Moreno put out a call to action for volunteers ahead of this weekend’s events.
