Donate to Operation HOPE-North County: Shelter for Families

Tax deductible
Help Us Bring HOPE to Families in Need!

At Operation HOPE-North County, we provide shelter, stability, and support to families and individuals as they work toward independence. With homelessness at crisis levels across San Diego, the need for safe, supportive spaces has never been greater. Our shelter is located in Vista, CA. We have 12 rooms with the capacity to house 45 individuals. Over 60% of our beds are occupied by youth ages newborn to 17 years of age.

With your help, we can ensure that everyone who walks through our doors has access to a safe place to stay, warm meals, and personalized programs to rebuild their lives.

Our comprehensive services empower families to thrive. From youth programs that inspire and educate, to parenting classes that strengthen family bonds, and case management that offers tailored support, we’re there every step of the way. We also provide financial literacy classes for parents, helping them build the skills needed to achieve long-term stability and independence.

I’ve been inspired by the resilience of the families we serve and our community’s willingness to support them. Families like the Juarezes, who recently came to us after losing their home due to unexpected medical bills, remind us of how quickly circumstances can spiral. Maria and her two children, Daniel and Sofia, arrived at Operation HOPE scared and unsure of what the future held. With our support, Maria was able to find stable employment while Daniel and Sofia returned to school with the supplies and encouragement they needed. Today, they are thriving in permanent housing and rebuilding their lives.

Every $90 provides one night of shelter for a person in need. As a nonprofit, donations from individual donors are critical to our sustainability. Our annual budget is $1.3 million for the year. Our goal is to raise 30% of our funds from individual donors so we can keep our doors open. Your generosity helps us create a brighter future for those experiencing homelessness. Together, we can make a lasting impact.

2023 stats:
  • Average length of stay for clients: 120 days
  • Successfully moved into stable housing: 56%
  • Exits into continuum of care: 10%
  • Skill building classes offered: 192
  • Meals donated by outside agencies: 315
