About Homefront San Diego
Homefront San Diego offers a wide range of services that are available to lower enlisted active duty Military and their families. All services are grant based in partnership with the San Diego Council of the Navy League, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. All funds received directly benefit San Diego military families.

Homefront San Diego was established to support families of deployed service members in San Diego shortly following 9/11. With an overwhelming number of service men and women in combat zones finding themselves distracted by concerns over the wellbeing of their families at home, Homefront San Diego  stepped up to care for the families so the soldiers could focus on their mission.

Homefront San Diego offers help and aid for military families with everything from emergency food and gas, car repairs, furniture, computers and anything else a family might need with the support of donations from the local community.
