About this facility

Mission
This is where Volunteer San Diego serves a crucial function. When a disaster strikes, we mobilize San Diegans immediately by posting on our website volunteer opportunities which government agencies and other organizations active in disasters have asked us to help them fill. Volunteers may also call us to be directed to where they are most needed. We update these service opportunities daily or as new needs arise.
