FOOD
Feeding anyone with food insecurities
We are proud of our Auntie Helen's Cares food distribution that feeds upwards of 1600 families weekly with 2 bags of well-balanced and nutritional food.
We partner with case managers from all parts of San Diego. They pick up large quantities of groceries and deliver them to clients and others in need.
Any food we have remaining each day is sent to homeless shelters around San Diego.
Pet food is also available.
Food distribution: Monday and Saturday 10am-2pm
LAUNDRY
Continuing our tradition of laundry
In 1988, our founder offered laundry service for the people with AIDS. At one time, we had many washers and dryers running six days a week to meet this need.
We continue our services and offer laundry service for those who physically are unable.
We have expanded to help our frontline medical workers in this pandemic.
MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
Available to anyone who asks
Auntie Helen’s partners with medical clinics in San Diego to offer free preventative care, confidential testing, and educational resources for preventive drugs. In doing so, we hope to be part of the future without AIDS.
We provide products for clients who may be homeless or indigent. Every month, we provide 300 hygiene kits and blankets.
Additionally, we provide free access to donated, basic medical equipment related to activities of daily living, such as shower chairs, walkers, and canes.

We also thank you for the pet food that you have donated for our patient's furry friends. Responding to our community needs, especially in times of crisis, has always been at the heart of San Ysidro Health's Mission. Through your partnership, together, we are making a positive difference.
