Somali Family Service of San Diego was established in 2000 as a non-profit, community-based social service organization with the goal of addressing the lack of support services for Somali and other East African immigrants and refugees. We have since expanded to provide services in more than 12 languages to community members from over 19 different countries.
OceanLeaf Celebration
Save the Date for our 2026 OceanLeaf Celebration! This signature event will bring together community leaders, partners, and supporters for an unforgettable night of connection, inspiration, and giving back.
Somali Family Service has been serving immigrants, refugees, and other underserved populations for the past 25 years with support from our community champions. At least 10,000 people rely on our support each year to get connected to important resources, achieve self-sufficiency, and overcome barriers to accessing services.
Recent policy and economic changes have led to increasing demand for safety net services like access to food, rental and utility assistance, transportation, and other urgent needs. While needs are growing, funding cuts have left us with a gap of $500,000 in our annual budget. We need the help of our community champions now more than ever to address this funding gap and ensure that our friends, families, neighbors, and communities don’t get left behind.
The STEM workshops have also been a huge inspiration!
