Our Mission:

To see lives transformed among the homeless and addicted in San Diego.

 

We See You San Diego is a nonprofit that takes a different approach to seeing men & women leave homelessness & addiction behind. Two things that often don't go together are people who live on the streets and a lavish dinner party. But every Tuesday, families & individuals from all over San Diego come together to host a party for people who live on the streets.

Through the weekly gathering, relationships are established and trust is built. Every week an invitation is extended to individuals to enter detox or a recovery program that best meets their individual needs. We See You walks alongside people through their recovery, inviting them into community.

We invite you to be a part of seeing lives transformed and partner with We See You San Diego.

 
 

We See You spent an average of $6,500 on inpatient recovery treatment per person on our organization’s graduates in Q1. How does that number compare to what the city is planning to spend on addressing the encampments in The San Diego Riverbed? We See You’s Executive Director, Laura Chez sat down with Jason Austell to discuss this specific demographic of individuals experiencing homelessness and one thing that’s missing from the city’s plan.

 
 

Doesn’t San Diego Have Enough Soup Kitchens?

We See You is more than a soup kitchen. We See You is a community of volunteers with hearts to see those experiencing homelessness & addiction walk in full freedom.

The weekly dinner party allows us not only to serve our guests but it allows us to sit at a table with them. It is around the table that relationships are built. Fueled with passion & love, our team is invested in each individual who walks through our gate.

It is through building relationships & establishing trust that we are able to extend opportunities for treatment & recovery to those living on the streets.

We See You sponsors the cost of treatment & recovery for those who are ready. Our team walks alongside side individuals throughout their entire journey through visits, cards, care packages, & more.
