SAN DIEGO —
A group of residents in southeastern San Diego is gathering small tokens of appreciation to give to San Diego’s health care workers, who have been at the forefront of the pandemic.
Paradise Hills residents plan to distribute at least 100 gift bags to employees at Paradise Valley Hospital in early February. The bags include hygiene products, snacks, gum and hair accessories.
“The pandemic can be devastating, but this is a little bit of hope and love that we can give,” said Selina Lugo, one of the organizers with ProjectReo, the community group.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, Project REO has assembled hundreds of gift bags for health care workers.
