On July 12, 2024, the AYLUS San Diego Branch participated in the Veterans Village of San Diego Annual Clothing Drive. Our branch, working as a team, donated about seven bags and five boxes full of clothes and shoes to support our heroes. On that day, we partnered with another nonprofit organization, the Lion Club, and together we donated clothes and shoes that totals to a value of about $1,000. The collaborative efforts made a significant impact, highlighting the power of community-driven initiatives. We demonstrated our commitment to supporting our heroes as well as towards strengthening our community.
