July was a amazing month for Fulfilling Destiny! Our community came together in such beautiful ways to uplift one another.

Check out all of the amazing work by our staff and volunteers:

First, we would like to express our greatest thanks Jessica and Betsy. They hosted a fundraiser and Packing Party for Fulfilling Destiny in San Jose.Betsy’s company, Big Pictures, donated on behalf of Fulfilling Destiny as well. We appreciate you! These donations will go a long way in supporting menstruators in our Bay Area community.

One of our own, Bridget D. and her beautiful kids, did their community distribution in downtown San Diego. They distributed to four of our partner organizations in a single day! Check out their picture below! Thank you Bridget for all that you do for Fulfilling Destiny and always involving your family and friends, we love to see it!

UCSD student, Celine, and her organization, Students vs. Pandemics at UCSD, hosted a Packing Party onn our behalf. They also did a drop off at the Victory Resource Center in Chula Vista. Thank you so much for supporting Fulfilling Destiny, we are so grateful!

We love our community and being able to partner so many great organizations. SheFest San Diego hosted a donation drive on behalf of Fulfilling Destiny. All of June, people were able to donate period products to the She Fest bin at Santos Coffee! They collected a total of 3,000 items! It so so amazing seeing our community come together! Thank you so much SheFest SD!

She Fest (@sdshefest) is a volunteer committee of LGBTQ+ women and non-binary folks centering the diverse experiences of LGBTQ+ women and people who feel at home with “she.” Their work fosters community connections for San Diego’s LGBTQ+ women and intentional allies. They combat homophobia, transphobia, and the patriarchy; and, highlight and celebrate the spectrum of “she.”

House of Dreams, focuses on migrant communities and providing resources for unaccompanied migrant children and unhoused migrants in Tijuana and San Ysidro. Fulfilling Destiny and House of Dreams partnered together and donated 250 Dignity Bags to support the needs of the migrant communities. Thank you House of Dreams for all the necessary work that you do!

We are so grateful to be able to work with other passionate organizations to empower our community together. Contact us if you or your organization would like to partner with Fulfilling Destiny or have any questions about partnerships!
