County Chairwoman Nora Vargas is encouraging San Diegans who want to help people and families impacted by last week’s devastating storms to participate in a “Day of Service” Wednesday, Jan. 31. Nine separate community groups are joining with County representatives at three locations to collect much-needed donations. The public can help in a few ways: They can sign up to help in person to collect and sort donations and put together kits to distribute to flood survivors. They can drop off donations to help people and families recovering from the rains and floods―items ranging from rain boots, towels, and plastic storage bins to laundry detergent, bottled water, diapers and pet food. All donated items should be new and unused. See the full list of needed items below. In addition to the Day of Service people can also support rain and flood victims by making financial donations to the flood response fund that County and San Diego Foundation created. The foundation will match donations up to $100,000. The community groups working with the County include Pillars of the Community; the Jackie Robinson YMCA; The Positive Movement Foundation; the Hip Hop Health and Wellness 5K and Festival; the Harvey Family Foundation; the Urban Collaborative Project; the Emo Brown Foundation; the Sherman Heights Community Center; and Exhaling Justice.

The exhibit of the works of Mexican photojournalists, never before shown north of the U.S. border, kicks off May 5 —Cinco de Mayo— at Cuyamaca College. The photographs offer a rare window into life in the state of Guerrero, chronicling the day-to-day experiences of indigenous and Afro-Mexican people and the tragedy of poverty and ongoing drug violence. The free exhibit, called “A Photo for Freedom,” will feature the work of 20 photojournalists, in the lobby of the Samuel M. Ciccati Performing Arts Center, and will run through early June. This exhibit will also feature an online presentation by the exhibit curator and independent journalist Marlén Castro, as well as a reception featuring Oaxacan cuisine from El Tejate Restaurant in Escondido. The digital theater is adjacent to the lobby where the photos will be exhibited. Mexico is among the most dangerous parts of the world to work as a journalist. Proceeds from the sale of the photos will go to support the Mexican journalism website, Amapola —the Spanish word for poppy—, Guerrero’s largest crop that supports farmers but also fuels violent drug gangs that terrorize residents. Date | Dpening reception and online presentation Thursday, May 5 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Location | Samuel M. Ciccati Performing Arts Center Reserve your spot here! This event is free and open to the public, but RSVP is required. The digital theater presentation will also be streamed live on YouTube, at https://tinyurl.com/4rr5rd7v.
