The University of San Diego Pride Affinity Alumni Group is excited to invite you to a meaningful and impactful Day of Service in collaboration with Showers of Blessings, a remarkable program that serves individuals experiencing homelessness in Downtown San Diego. 

Event Overview:

As part of our ongoing commitment to community service, the Pride Affinity Alumni Group is partnering with Showers of Blessings at St. Paul’s Cathedral for a Day of Service to directly support this program and its mission. Our alumni will have the opportunity to volunteer their time, energy, and compassion, helping with the essential services provided to those experiencing homelessness.

Volunteers will assist with:

  • Setting up and assisting with the mobile shower trailer
  • Distributing clean clothes, socks, toiletries, and fresh towels
  • Engaging with guests in a compassionate, non-judgmental manner, offering a sense of dignity and belonging 
  • Serving a hot breakfast meal and maintaining a welcoming environment

About Showers of Blessings:

Showers of Blessings is a vital outreach program that operates through churches across the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego. Its mission is simple yet powerful: to provide a dignified, clean shower experience for men, women, and children who are experiencing homelessness. Since its inception in 2014, Showers of Blessings has been a beacon of hope, offering not only showers but also clean clothes, toiletries, fresh towels, and, perhaps most importantly, a sense of dignity and community. Volunteers provide more than just essential services—they offer warmth, comfort, and compassion, creating a welcoming environment that fosters a sense of belonging. With the support of volunteers and donors, Showers of Blessings continues to serve those in need with love and grace.

Why Participate?

This is a chance to give back to our community in a tangible and heartfelt way, showing up for those who need our support the most. By volunteering with the Pride Affinity Alumni Group, you will be part of a collective effort to provide essential services to individuals facing challenging circumstances. You'll not only make a difference in the lives of others, but also deepen your connection to the San Diego community, sharing a meaningful experience of service and compassion.

What to Expect:

● A rewarding day of service and community connection

● A welcoming, inclusive environment where your contributions will be valued

● The opportunity to make a direct impact on those experiencing homelessness in San Diego

RSVP & Volunteer Registration:

We invite all alumni to participate and give back to those in need. Spaces are limited, so please RSVP by March 5 to ensure your spot. We look forward to coming together as a community to make a difference and show that pride means not only celebrating who we are, but also helping those who are struggling.
