Weatherly was proud to help sponsor Just in Time’s annual “Pathways to Financial Power” conference. This event aims to help transition age foster youth achieve financial stability through networking, career exploration and resources as well as a “Shark Tank” inspired competition where program participants can secure funding by pitching their business ideas to a panel of judges. In addition to our sponsorship, Andrea Taylor is volunteering as a 1-on-1 coach for JIT’s Financial Fitness 102 program this fall. The eight-week program helps participants build personal finance skills in budgeting, saving, investing, credit, loans, and cybersecurity, while working towards establishing an emergency fund for long-term financial stability.

Avocados for the win! Weatherly continues to celebrate our 30th Anniversary by partaking in 30 charitable events this year. It was truly inspiring to be part of Feeding San Diego’s mission to end hunger. The charity’s mission involves food rescue initiatives to support various programs like the School Pantry Program to serve local San Diegans experiencing hunger. The WAM team were fortunate to be a part of this mission by helping rescue and pack 1400 pounds of avocados at a volunteer event yesterday afternoon. We believe community efforts as such go a long way as Feeding San Diego serves millions of meals each year. Learn more about Feeding San Diego here: https://feedingsandiego.org/.

As we celebrate our 30th anniversary this year, Weatherly is committed to supporting 30 events, with the Del Mar Village Association’s Summer Solstice being a highlight! Our crew volunteered to help usher patrons into the event and guide them to the various local vendors in attendance. We had a wonderful time connecting with many people, enjoying the festivities, and engaging with our vibrant community.

On a lovely March Day, the Weatherly Crew decided to make the most of the San Diego weather and once again teamed up with the Del Mar Village Association and participated in the Keep Del Mar Green Community Cleanup. In an effort to prevent the contamination of our precious waterways, we spread out across the downtown and beach regions to collect trash while also strengthening our team bond. If you want to know more about upcoming cleanups, visit the DMVA website.

It was truly rewarding to see the impact we made on the lives of so many families. The WAM team spent an afternoon volunteering with Feeding San Diego, and we are happy to share that we rescued 2,397 pounds of apples that will help provide 1,409 families with food. Feeding San Diego has an impressive mission to serve millions of meals each year, and we’re glad to have been a part of their mission.

While the holiday season is commonly referred to as the most wonderful time of the year, for families in need it can often be the most stressful. This holiday season, Weatherly partnered with Crisis House to provide gift cards to make the holidays special for several local families. Crisis House works in our communities to stop the cycle of domestic violence and homelessness and connect individuals and families to critical resources and programs.

As the months turned colder, the Weatherly crew’s minds turned to our furry friends at the San Diego Humane Society. For our fall team building activity, we held a fleece blanket making activity and blanket drive amongst our team to donate to animals in need this fall and winter.

In June of 2021, our team took advantage of a cooler San Diego afternoon to spend some time cleaning up our shoreline. As a team of avid beach-goers, the health of our oceans and waterways is a cause close to our hearts. The Ocean Conservancy’s “Clean Swell” app makes it easy for you to host your own beach clean up and provide data to their global ocean trash database that is utilized by researchers and policymakers working for cleaner oceans.
