Season of Sharing - Coming Soon!
As the holiday season approaches—traditionally filled with joy and family gatherings—many families served by the San Diego Regional Center (SDRC) face overwhelming financial challenges. To address this, the Foundation for Developmental Disabilities (FDD) launched the Season of Sharing Program, a heartfelt, family-friendly initiative providing holiday gift cards to qualified SDRC clients. This program is more than just a gift; it’s a lifeline that ensures families in financial hardship can still experience the warmth and joy of the holiday season.
