Some people leave a mark on a community.

From uplifting youth and our neighbors to standing alongside community leaders and movements for justice, her impact stretches across generations. Her legacy lives in the stories, spaces, opportunities, and sense of community she helped build along the way. Following the Unity Luncheon program, we invite you to join us at La Perla Lawn as we celebrate Ms. Rachael Ortiz and honor a lifetime dedicated to community, advocacy, and collective care.

Child care providers and early childhood professionals make so much possible.🙏 They are educators, caregivers, and small business owners, creating safe, nurturing spaces where children can build confidence, develop skills for school, and feel supported as they grow. Today, we are highlighting at-home child care providers and the incredible role they play in our comunidades. As we continue facing child care shortages, at-home providers help fill critical gaps in care and make it possible for local economies to keep moving. Their work gives parents the ability to work and provide. It creates stability for entire communities. Today and every day, we celebrate all childcare providers who show up with patience, care, and commitment for our children and families. Happy Child Care Provider Day 🩷! #ChildcareProviderDay

Big respect to boxer @official_elreyy for stepping into the community and giving back at Chicano Park alongside @chicanofederation . It wasn’t a day that was about cameras or attention — it was about showing the next generation that discipline, hard work, and heart can open doors. We spent time with the local kids, taught boxing fundamentals, shared knowledge, and donated gloves, wraps, socks, shoes, and more to help keep them going. The youth are the future. Proud to be part of something bigger than ourselves. 🥊❤️ #ChicanoPark #ChicanoFederation #BoxingCommunity #SanDiegoBoxing #CommunityFirst
