WE LOVED LOVING THE LOT!
We See You’s Team of 85 volunteers brought Lavish Love to our city’s safe sleeping site, The O Lot, this past Saturday.
Our goal was to introduce ourselves to 538 of our unhoused neighbors living at The O Lot, treat them to lunch and a We See You concert, provide essential items to meet immediate needs, and offer residents the opportunity to receive a customized pathway out of homelessness by way of addressing addiction.
💥The Vibe: Farmer’s Market
🎶 The Setlist : All the HITS
🍽️ The Menu : 423 residents were served our favorite lunch Jersey Mike’s subs accompanied by their choice of chips, a sweet treat, and their favorite soda.
☕️ The Coffee : Starbucks was on tap along with their favorite flavored creamers.
🧦The Cozy Items: Over 1,000 pounds of blankets, pillows, jackets, socks, hats, gloves were distributed.
🧼 The Hygiene Bar: All residents received hand sanitizer, dental supplies and more!
🎁 The Raffle: 20 prizes included backpacks filled with goodies, EMPWR coats thanks to Lucky Duck Foundation, gift cards & so much more!
🙌🏼The Highlight: When The We See You House Band played Love Train and a dance party erupted!
Most importantly, We See You’s Recovery Phone has been ringing ever since with men and women who were at the event and are ready to start the conversation about addressing homelessness and addiction. We 👏🏼 are 👏🏼 here 👏🏼 for 👏🏼 it !
It was such an honor to partner with Dreams for Change & San Diego Downtown Partnership. Their staff was welcoming and filled with compassion and care for their residents. What a gift to have the opportunity to work together to see lives transformed!
We’ve Had to Press “Pause”
After 395 Tuesday evenings in a row, We See You Dinner Parties are officially PAUSED.
In mid-November, We See You was informed that as of January 1, 2025, our organization would no longer be able to host our Tuesday dinner parties at our current Pacific Beach location.
Since learning of this news, We See You’s team has been working to find a new location but we have not been able to secure a space for our weekly dinner parties as of yet.
Despite being unable to host our neighbors to a lavish feast for the time being, We See You’s mission to see lives transformed among the homeless and addicted in our city continues through daily outreach. We See You’s invitation to address root causes of addiction and homelessness through inpatient medical detox, long term residential recovery, sober living, with support throughout the journey continues to be extended in local shelters, homeless drop-in centers, at our city’s safe sleeping site, and as a resource on 2-1-1.
Please continue to check our website and social channels for current volunteer opportunities and information about resuming the weekly dinner party.
Thank you for your heart to be part of the solution to homelessness in our city.
We See You San Diego is a nonprofit that takes a different approach to seeing men and women leave chronic homelessness and addiction behind. Two things that often don't go together are people who live on the streets and a lavish dinner party. But every Tuesday, families and individuals from all over San Diego come together to host a party for people who live on the streets.
Through the weekly gathering, relationships are established and trust is built. Every week an invitation and an offer is extended for guests to consider. That invitation is an individualized pathway out of homelessness and addiction which includes inpatient medical detox, a residential recovery program that best meets their needs, sober living sponsorships, and supportive community throughout their entire recovery journey as they transition back into healthy independent living.
Our vision is to offer this life-transforming invitation to as many men and women as possible while showing them that it is an invitation they are worthy to receive.
We invite you to be a part of seeing lives transformed and partner with We See You San Diego.
