About

New Neighbor Relief in Santee operates a donation warehouse on Prospect Avenue that distributes furniture, clothing, and household essentials to refugee families resettling across San Diego County. The organization's four-pillar program pairs each arriving family with a dedicated volunteer mentor who coordinates donated-goods pickups and delivery logistics, supplementing the household-supply pipeline alongside resettlement partners including The Salvation Army Thrift Store & Donation Center on Cuyamaca Street. Weekly English-language classes run on-site at the Prospect Avenue facility, while employment coaching draws on a local network of East County San Diego employers willing to hire newly arrived residents. Founded in 2016 as a 501(c)(3) under EIN 82-2105857, the organization channels volunteer hours into driver's license preparation, school enrollment for children, and medical-appointment transportation that fills the same navigational-support gap Crisis House addresses for individuals in acute crisis from its Cuyamaca Street office. The warehouse maintains a rotating inventory of 200-plus categorized household items, with each resettlement package configured to furnish a two- or three-bedroom apartment in a single delivery.
