Kary's Helping Hand is a women-owned 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered at 7079 Gain Drive in San Carlos, San Diego, CA 92119, where founder Kary Siegfried launched the all-volunteer organization in January 2020 to address gaps in street-level homeless services across the county. The nonprofit holds tax-exempt status under EIN 87-1765415 with an IRS ruling year of 2021. Each month, the volunteer team identifies an area in San Diego where unhoused individuals congregate and stages a pop-up community outreach event that distributes home-cooked meals to approximately 150 people per session, along with gently used clothing, blankets, jackets, socks, hygiene products, and water. The operation runs on a hand-up model that prioritizes relationship-building and connection to shelter resources, including programs administered through The Salvation Army Kroc Center in College Area. On the first and third Saturdays of every month, Kary's Helping Hand participates in Power of a Shower, a collaborative outreach hosted at Meridian Baptist Church in El Cajon that provides shower access, clothing, and personal care items to homeless individuals from across East County. The San Carlos base puts the organization within reach of Lake Murray Boulevard and the Navajo Road corridor that serves the 92119 ZIP code. Every monetary and in-kind donation routes directly to field distribution, with no paid staff overhead absorbing funds. Community partnerships with congregations including San Carlos United Methodist Church and local businesses supply donation pipelines that keep the monthly outreach events stocked with essential goods. Siegfried was nominated for the San Diego Regional East County Chamber of Commerce Women in Leadership award in recognition of the organization's outreach footprint. Cowles Mountain's trailhead community and the residential neighborhoods along Lake Murray Boulevard form the donor base that sustains the nonprofit's operating budget through direct contributions and in-kind supply drives.
