St. Paul’s will host a drop-off donation drive to support S.P.E.N.D. (St. Paul’s Essential Needs Drive) on Thursday, November 20, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the St. Paul’s Conference Center, 2557 Third Ave, San Diego, CA 92103. The community is asked to bring new, unopened essential items, including toothbrushes/toothpaste, blankets, and socks, to directly support vulnerable older adults served by St. Paul’s PACE across San Diego County. St. Paul’s S.P.E.N.D. shines a light on the growing gap between a seniors’ fixed income and the rising cost of living, and channels community support into the most-needed everyday items. Thousands of older adults in San Diego County live below the actual cost of living and struggle to cover basics like housing, food, and medications. Many do not meet federal poverty thresholds and go without essential living items. Donations through S.P.E.N.D. help close that gap for the seniors in St. Paul’s care this winter. Those interested in supporting this year’s event can donate at www.stpaulseniors.org/donate and select “S.P.E.N.D.” from the dropdown menu, or use donorbox.org/spend-2025 to contribute directly to this year’s drive.
