Giving Back
We feel very blessed by all the success 2019 has brought us, and even more blessed to have the ability to give back. This April the Location Matters team volunteered with Feeding San Diego to pack produce packages to pass out to families in need at our local San Diego schools. We felt fortunate to help an organization like Feeding San Diego in their endeavor to end hunger through food rescue.
