In light of the state, regional, and agency directives related to social distancing’ for combating the spread of COVID-19 we are cancelling in-person meetings for El Cajon Collaborative involving outside participants. The meetings will be cancelled until the regularly scheduled meeting dates in May.
With the closure of the schools and in accordance with guidance from the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency, which recently issued an order prohibiting all large events with more than 250 attendees, we are postponing/canceling the World of Wellness Resource Fair on March 26th. The Collaborative’s priority is to ensure a healthy and safe environment for our community members, agencies and volunteers. El Cajon Collaborative hopes to reschedule this event later this Spring.
Little House will only be open for appointments. We strive to provide updated resources and services to families in our community. Please let us know if there is any assistance that we can offer to locate resources and pantries in El Cajon and East County. Check our websites www.elcajonresources.org and www.ecassist.org for more information on services in El Cajon and East County or email Carol Lewis at carol.lewis@elcajoncollaborative.org.

A DAY EXCURSION TO OLD TOWN ON THE TROLLEY
JANUARY 2020
El Cajon Collaborative hosted a day excursion on the San Diego Trolley as a part of a transit training for families who do not speak English as their primary language. The excursion brought together families from the Barrio Logan College Institute (BLCI) El Cajon program who had never used the transit system before. Translation was provided in both Spanish and Arabic by staff of BLCI and HHSA-East Region provided the transit passes. Docents were available at the park to teach the families what life was like when San Diego was first settled.
