💛✨ Now more than ever, families need our help. ✨💛
This holiday season, many of the children and families we serve are facing unimaginable uncertainty — long hospital stays, financial hardship, and the fear of what comes next. Through our Holiday Smiles Campaign, we’re bringing comfort, hope, and joy when it’s needed most.
Your support can make an immediate difference: a warm meal, a small gift, a moment of relief in the middle of hardship. 🌟
There are so many ways to give:
🎁 Donate toys for children and teens
💳 Give a gift card ($25, $50, $100 – Target, Walmart, or Visa)
💛 Make a monetary donation to support our programs
🎟️ Every $50 enters you in our raffle for a chance to win amazing prizes!
💫 Together, we can remind families that even in the hardest times, they are not alone. Join us today to spread hope and Holiday Smiles. 💛

PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR FALL: 10 ENERGY-EFFICIENCY TIPS
As the leaves change color and the air gets crisp, it’s the perfect time to cozy up – and cut down on energy use. Simple adjustments can make an impact on your energy savings this season. Here are a few creative ideas to stay warm and efficient this season:
1. Use a humidifier: Moist air feels warmer than dry air, so you can stay comfortable at lower thermostat settings.
2. Cook in batches: Make soups, stews or casseroles in bulk. You’ll use less energy
reheating food than cooking from scratch daily.
3. Maintain your heating system. Make sure your heating system is running efficiently by scheduling a maintenance check. Replace filters regularly to ensure your system is working at its best. Schedule your free gas appliances check at
sdge.com/GasCheck.
4. Clean light fixtures and bulbs. Dust can reduce brightness. Clean bulbs shine more efficiently, reducing the need for extra lighting.
5. Use ceiling fans wisely. Set your ceiling fans to rotate clockwise at a low speed.
This will push warm air down from the ceiling, helping to keep your rooms warmer.
6. Close the fireplace damper. When your fireplace is not in use, make sure the
damper is closed. An open damper allows warm air to escape up the chimney.
7. Use rugs on bare floors. Rugs add insulation and help rooms retain heat, especially in homes with tile or hardwood flooring.
8. Take shorter showers. Heating water with natural gas can be a big energy expense. Try to take shorter showers and consider installing a low-flow showerhead to reduce water usage.
9. Close off unused rooms. Shut doors and vents in rooms you don’t use often to
direct the heat where it’s most needed.
10. Use natural light. Open curtains during sunny days to warm rooms naturally and
close them at night to retain heat. Also, thermal curtains help trap heat and reduce
drafts.
By following these tips, you can enjoy a warm and cozy home this fall while keeping your energy bills lower. Find more energy-saving tips at sdge.com/SimpleSteps.

🍴✨ A huge THANK YOU to all of our culinary partners who made Harvest for Hope an unforgettable night! Your talent and generosity filled the room with flavor, joy, and love for the families we serve. 💛 We truly couldn’t do it without you!
From the incredible tastings—beef tartare, local ceviche tostadas, arancini, rigatoni al Forno, lamb albondigas, and burrata pizza crust—to the amazing sips—craft mixology, mezcal from Oaxaca, tequila snow cones, and a stunning variety of wines from Napa, Paso Robles, Valle de Guadalupe, and Washington State—our guests were treated to the best of the best. 🍷🍹 And of course, we ended the night on the sweetest note with refreshing ice cream! 🍨
This September, during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we are reminded that it takes a community to bring hope and healing. 💙 Thank you for being such an essential part of ours.
Together, we’re making a difference one plate, one glass, and one smile at a time. 🌟
