Since this collection benefits two causes, please help us simplify transport by using durable bags and boxes:

  • Please bag smaller fishing items and label “Chollas”

  • Please bag all ProKids items and label “ProKids”

Upcoming causes we hope to have for the rest of year include: Pet Rescue groups, San Diego Refugee Tutoring, San Diego Youth Services.

Thank you for supporting these important causes.
