Hearts & Hands Working Together

Hearts & Hands Working Together We are a non-profit agency whose primary mission is to provide food, and clothing to the underserved San Ysidro Blvd.

Hearts & Hands Working Together” is a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) agency whose primary mission is “to provide food, and clothing to the ‘underserved’ and ‘at risk’ individuals/families, and, refer them to other resources that will lessen the threat for them, in the San Ysidro Community.” The agency’s mission is based on the principle of when people “work together” with their “hearts and hands” their

goals can be realized and a lot more will be accomplished! This “grass roots” agency was founded in 1996 by Alicia Jimenez, Raquel Moran and a group of very concerned community members who actively participated in their school/District PTA organizations They noted that the resources for food and clothing were very limited for many families, in their immediate school community. With no funding sources, they worked with their “hearts and hands” and assisted few families with food and some clothing, using their own personal resources. Today, with an active, strong, “all volunteer” staff/board officers and members (no paid staff members), “Hearts & Hands” continues to serve their community families/ individuals with food and clothing. “Hearts & Hands” is presently serving 375+ families at their monthly food/clothing, distribution where canned and dry goods, bread clothing and baby diapers are distributed to the families at Our Lady of Mount Carmel parking lot every first Tuesday of the Month located at 2020 Alaquinas Dr. San Ysidro, California 92173. In addition, the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank generously donates fresh produce.

“Hearts & Hands”, also, is a designated Emergency Food Distributor and Super Pantry by the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank and response to the emergency needs, Monday through Friday from 3:00 pm - 5:30 pm at 663 E. (Community Service Center),

Each year, with the assistance of the businesses, Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank grants, the SDG & E, the San Ysidro Business Improvement, and the generosity of individual donors, “Hearts & Hands Working Together” has been able to keep up, during pandemic the needs have increased tremendously, due to the status of our nation’s economy. Hearts & Hands have gone from serving 900 families to a steady 1700+ families, at our three monthly different food distributions. It is difficult to note the “needs” and not be able to fulfill all of them; however, “Hearts & Hands Working Together” is optimistic that with everyone “working together,” their mission can and will continue to be accomplished. We encourage everyone to become involved in our mission, “to provide food, shoes and clothing to the ‘underserved’ and ‘at risk’ individuals/families and refer them to other resources that will lessen the threat for them, in the San Ysidro Community.” Donations can be made out to: “Hearts and Hands Working Together.” Thank you!

MANTENTE FRESCO Y AHORRA: CONSEJOS DE VERANO PARA TU NEGOCIO

El calor de verano puede aumentar el consumo de energia y los costos operativos, pero unos cuantos cambios sencillos pueden marcar una gran diferencia. Estos 10 consejos para ahorrar energia pueden ayudar a que tu negocio se mantenga comodo, reduzcas tus cuentas de energia y mejores tu eficiencia durante los meses mas calurosos del anio.

1. Cambia el consumo de energia a horas de menor demanda: Utiliza equipos que consumen mucha energia antes de las 4 p.m. o despues de las 9 p.m., cuando la demanda de energia es menor.

2. Usa ventiladores para reducir los costos de enfriamiento: Los ventiladores de techo y portatiles mejoran la circulacion del aire y ayudan a mantener comodas a las personas durante los dias mas calidos. En verano, ajuste los ventiladores de techo para que giren en sentido contrario a las agujas del reloj y ayuden a distribuir el aire mas fresco. Ademas, recuerda apagarlos en los espacios que no esten en uso.

3. Moderniza a equipos con certificacion ENERGY STAR: Cuando llegue el momento de reemplazar electrodomesticos o equipos, elija modelos certificados por ENERGY STAR. Consumen menos energia y pueden ayudar a reducir tus costos operativos con el tiempo.

4. Selle las fugas de aire: Revisa puertas, ventanas y rejillas de ventilacion para detectar corrientes de aire. Un sellado adecuado ayuda a mantener el aire fresco adentro y el aire caliente afuera.

5. Instala iluminacion con sensores de movimiento: Los sensores de movimiento en salas de descanso, banos y areas de almacenamiento pueden ayudar a reducir el consumo innecesario de energia.

6. Desconecta los dispositivos que no utilizas: Los cargadores, monitores y otros aparatos electronicos pueden seguir consumiendo energia incluso cuando no estan en uso. Anima a los empleados a desconectar equipos como impresoras y computadoras al final de la jornada laboral.

7. Revisa tu plan tarifario. Asegurate de estar inscrito en el plan tarifario que mejor se adapte a las necesidades energeticas de tu negocio. Visita sdge.com/MyCusiness para explorar sus opciones.

8. Aprovecha la configuracion de un termostato inteligente. Aumenta la temperatura durante las horas en que el negocio no este ocupado y automatiza los ajustes con un termostato inteligente para ahorrar energia sin esfuerzo adicional.

9. Mantenga despejadas las rejillas de ventilacion. Las rejillas bloqueadas hacen que los sistemas de calefaccion y aire acondicionado trabajen mas. Asegurate de que los muebles y equipos no obstruyan el flujo de aire.

10. Fomenta una cultura de ahorro de energia. Las pequenas acciones suman. Anima a los empleados a apagar las luces, desconectar equipos y reportar el desperdicio de energia cuando lo detecten.

Ahorrar energia es bueno para tu negocio y para el medio ambiente. Explora recursos digitales que pueden ayudarte a reducir los costos de energia en sdge.com/MyBusiness.

STAY COOL, SAVE ENERGY: SUMMER TIPS FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Summer heat can drive up energy use and operating costs, but a few simple changes can make a big difference. These 10 energy-saving tips can help your business stay comfortable, reduce energy bills and improve efficiency during the hottest months of the year.

1. Shift energy use to off-peak hours: Run energy-intensive equipment before 4 p.m. or after 9 p.m. when energy demand is lower.

2. Use fans to reduce cooling costs: Ceiling and portable fans improve airflow and help keep people comfortable during warmer weather. In summer, set ceiling fans to rotate counterclockwise to help circulate cooler air. And be sure to turn fans off in unoccupied spaces.

3, Upgrade to ENERGY STAR equipment: When it's time to replace appliances or equipment, choose ENERGY STAR-certified models. They use less energy, which may help lower your operating costs over time.

4. Seal air leaks: Check doors, windows and vents for drafts. Proper sealing helps keep cool air in and hot air out.

5. Install motion-sensor lighting. Motion sensors in break rooms, restrooms and storage areas can help reduce unnecessary energy use.

6. Unplug unused devices: Chargers, monitors and other electronics can continue using energy even when they're not in use. Encourage employees to unplug devices, like printers and computers, at the end of the day.

7. Review your pricing plan: Make sure you're on the pricing plan that best fits your business's energy needs. Visit sdge.com/MyBusiness to explore your options.

8. Take advantage of smart thermostat settings: Raise temps during unoccupied hours and automate adjustments with a smart thermostat to save without extra effort.

9. Keep air vents clear: Blocked vents make HVAC systems work harder. Ensure furniture and equipment aren't restricting airflow.

10. Build and energy-saving culture: Small actions add up. Encourage employees to turn off lights, power down equipment and report energy waste when they see it.
