Monthly Report

NOVEMBER 2025

As we all know and understand, the shutdown of our federal government and additional challenges coming from Washington, D.C. are creating undue stresses, strains, and hardship for families, workers, and businesses across our region—at a time when nearly half of all local households are already struggling.

I could not feel more pride and gratitude for our EDC investors and partners who have been organizing efforts to help those in need: Through visible philanthropic collaboration and alignment, leading food distribution efforts, connecting San Diegans to critical resources, and many, many more that are a constant resource to families. Collectively, you have the power to move mountains.
