We here at PuroClean of Del Cerro have always believed in giving back to the community, in more ways than saving homes from nightmare property damage. This Thanksgiving season, we extended our commitment to helping those in need in our community by partnering with Feeding San Diego for a food drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team was determined to make a difference. Over the course of three weeks, we encouraged our team members to bring in non-perishable items and canned foods for donation. The response was overwhelming and heartwarming. But we didn&#8217;t stop there. We went to Costco and Food 4 Less, gathering even more items to add to our donation boxes. The result? A significant contribution of 1,059 lbs of food. It&#8217;s a figure that fills us with pride, but more importantly, it represents our collective effort to support those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" data-id=\"19819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/san-diego-ca-puroclean-del-cerro-new\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/824\/2023\/11\/FC7AA61E-6AFA-4674-B2C6-03E8278BCC52-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"From Left: Tyrone, Marife, Ryan and Carlos dropping off our first donation of 1,059 lbs of food.\" class=\"wp-image-19819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/san-diego-ca-puroclean-del-cerro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/824\/2023\/11\/FC7AA61E-6AFA-4674-B2C6-03E8278BCC52-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/san-diego-ca-puroclean-del-cerro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/824\/2023\/11\/FC7AA61E-6AFA-4674-B2C6-03E8278BCC52-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/san-diego-ca-puroclean-del-cerro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/824\/2023\/11\/FC7AA61E-6AFA-4674-B2C6-03E8278BCC52-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/san-diego-ca-puroclean-del-cerro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/824\/2023\/11\/FC7AA61E-6AFA-4674-B2C6-03E8278BCC52.jpg 1335w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"772\" data-id=\"19820\" src=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/san-diego-ca-puroclean-del-cerro-new\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/824\/2023\/11\/6749FCA6-BC5B-4ABB-8416-3676BF451A23-1024x772.jpg\" alt=\"Donations in our warehouse, from ramen noodles to canned green beans.\" class=\"wp-image-19820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/san-diego-ca-puroclean-del-cerro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/824\/2023\/11\/6749FCA6-BC5B-4ABB-8416-3676BF451A23-1024x772.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/san-diego-ca-puroclean-del-cerro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/824\/2023\/11\/6749FCA6-BC5B-4ABB-8416-3676BF451A23-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/san-diego-ca-puroclean-del-cerro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/824\/2023\/11\/6749FCA6-BC5B-4ABB-8416-3676BF451A23-768x579.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/san-diego-ca-puroclean-del-cerro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/824\/2023\/11\/6749FCA6-BC5B-4ABB-8416-3676BF451A23.jpg 1327w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking our initiative a step further, we were granted permission to set up a table outside the local Food 4 Less. This not only gave us the opportunity to collect an additional 76 lbs of food but also allowed us to engage directly with our community. The kindness and generosity we witnessed were truly moving. As Thanksgiving approaches, we at PuroClean of Del Cerro urge you to remember the spirit of the season. It&#8217;s a time to be thankful for what we have and to consider how we can contribute to our community. We invite you to check out local drives and find ways to make a positive impact. Together, we can make a difference!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"19825\" src=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/san-diego-ca-puroclean-del-cerro-new\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/824\/2023\/11\/scott-donations-pic-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Scott collecting donations outside of our Food 4 Less.\" class=\"wp-image-19825\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"19824\" src=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/san-diego-ca-puroclean-del-cerro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/470\/2023\/11\/IMG_7875-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Tyler at the Feeding San Diego office after dropping off donated goods.\" class=\"wp-image-19824\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In closing, this Thanksgiving, let&#8217;s all remember that giving back is not just about the donations we make but also about the spirit of community and support we foster.
