At the beginning of October, San Diego opened a temporary residence (tent city) in Golden Hills for the homeless. They currently have 200 residents including 45 children and about 40 dogs. A plan exists to open a permanent camp site residence downtown on Dec. 1, 2017. There are plans for 2 more campsites after that, housing some 1000 homeless in the county. These campsites are sponsored and monitored by the Alpha Project.Mission Valley Pet Sitting Services is commencing a campaign immediately to collect donations of dog food, and clothes and toys for the children. We will collect through Dec. 24 and deliver the donations to Alpha Square for distribution to the homeless residents. We ask that you open your hearts to these people especially the children and animals. We do not want $ donations; just dog food, blankets, clothes for children and toys and games for the kids for Christmas. If you can help please contact me at sari@missionvalleypetsittingservices.com and I will make arrangements to pick up your donation.Thanking you in advance.
