Raise Your Heart Hands and Celebrate National Nonprofit Day with CECO

Celebrate National Nonprofit Day this Aug. 17 and show your support for the San Diego County Employees’ Charitable Organization. CECO is the County’s very own nonprofit that is operated by fellow employees who volunteer their time to meet the organization’s mission and distribute 100% of funds raised back to the community.

Lend your hand and celebrate this day by emailing CECO your heart hands picture. The first 50 photos received will be given a CECO reusable straw as a token of CECO's appreciation, as well as be highlighted to show the County family’s support of CECO.

Since forming in 1956, CECO has given more than $7 million back to San Diego County. Contributions from employees and retirees to CECO are awarded to local nonprofits each year, as well as to assist employees in needed. Earlier this year, CECO distributed $120,130 in grants and assistance to 82 local nonprofit programs and County employees. Charitable organizations that received grants include Crisis House, Chicano Federation of San Diego County, Reading Legacies, Mama's Kitchen, Inc., Survivors of Torture, International and Voices for Children.
