Encinitas Cares, envisioned by Community Resource Center CEO John Van Cleef, unites local nonprofits, businesses, faith organizations, and residents around a shared mission of supporting neighbors through advocacy, education, and action. One recent example of that collaboration saw ProduceGood and Healthy Day Partners join forces, with support from the Cushman Foundation, to assemble Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) boxes for local families while helping reduce food waste. Founding organizations also include Coastal Roots Farm, Rancho Coastal Humane Society, the YMCA of San Diego County, the Encinitas Lions Club, and several local churches, all working together to amplify one another's efforts and build a more connected, compassionate community. encinitas-cares.org ranchandcoast.com 60 AUGUST 2026 RANCH & COAST MAGAZINE
