Resource Partners

Resource & Community Partners

Community partners and collaborations with local services providers are key to the success of Kindness Initiative. Partners reflect the full range of nonprofit organizations, governmental agencies, service providers, synagogues and Jewish organizations, and businesses that are essential for improving the quality of life for the people of San Diego County.

Resource Partner collaborations provide Kindness Initiative members with best-in-class services, to meet their needs. Resource meet Kindness Initiative’s “Service Standards,” share mutual values, and meet our performance standards. Services provided include various medical services, housing, clothing, employment, nutrition, transportation, substance abuse, domestic violence support, household items,  financial aid, and short-term interest free loans.

Businesses can assist in providing Members with employment opportunities by participating in the  KindnessWORKS! program, in which we help Members prepare for their job search, assess their skills, access training, post available jobs, match Members with Business Partners, and support Members in their new positions.

Apartment owners & property managers can partner with our Kindness@HOME program, where we work together to offer a  struggling Member two of life’s biggest basic needs: stable housing, steady income, and an opportunity to earn both at the same time, through full-time employment and affordable housing — making dreams a reality.

Professionals and tradespersons can volunteer time to assist Members, by providing pro bono services including legal services, tax and accounting services, dental, vision care, and pre-retirement planning.

Synagogues & Jewish Community Organizations are invited to spread awareness of Kindness Initiative to their congregations and members, and encourage them to volunteer their time and refer people who may need assistance. Kindness Initiative team members are available to make presentations, participate in special events, supply informational materials, write articles for publication, collaborate with staff for referrals, and conduct consultations with potential Members.
