For those wishing to walk or sponsor a walker, the 5k Walkathon from the church to Uptown CSC and back will return to the church in time for the 10 a.m. brunch program.

Uptown Faith CSC is open from 9am to 3pm, Monday thru Friday.

The mission of Uptown Faith Community Service Center is to help the homeless, poor and those in need to become self-supporting members of our community and live with dignity. Services include mail and message services, aiding clients in obtaining California identification cards, providing information and referrals and distributing emergency food, hygiene supplies and clothing donated by sixteen sponsoring church congregations and other community organizations/members. Each month, Uptown provides services to more than 1,000 diverse homeless and very-low income persons. The need for Uptown services has dramatically increased as economic woes persist in our community.

The entire community is invited to come and share the fun, fellowship and food while helping raise money to directly help those in need in our community. Brunch will be catered by Alpha Project catering and include an informational program about Uptown activities which begins at 10:00 a.m. There will be music provided by local artists Cynthia Montez and Leslie Alexander.

Uptown Faith Community Center is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization, supported by an interfaith group of San Diego member churches, and receives administrative support from Alpha Project.

The Uptown member congregations are Covenant Presbyterian Church, First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego, Good Samaritan Episcopal Church, Grace Lutheran Church, Lemon Grove UMC/Chollas View UMC, Metropolitan Community Church of San Diego, Mission Hills United Methodist, Mission Hills United Church of Christ, Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral, St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church, Trinity United Methodist Church, United Church of Christ of La Mesa, and University Christian Church.

The Greater San Diego Business Association has received a grant of $13,380 from the City of San Diego Small Business Enhancement Program , which will be used for presenting workshops and “webinars” to GSDBA’s 800-plus members.

The grant was earmarked for the upcoming fiscal year, starting in early October. Through a similar grant from the city’s Small Business Enhancement Program, the LGBT-supportive chamber of commerce over the past year has conducted 15 workshops on various topics in support of its countywide membership, comprised largely of small-business owners and entrepreneurs.

“We intend to continue that work with more workshops and the creation of webinars that will correlate to their subject matter,” says Tom Luhnow, chief executive officer of GSDBA.

Luhnow adds that the organization will conduct a member survey in late September to determine the most requested topics for the workshops, which have previously focused on marketing strategies, financial planning and on-line social networking presented by business leaders and college professors.

The GSDBA, founded in 1979, currently ranks as the second largest gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and supportive chamber of commerce in the country. For more information about membership and the organization’s business networking groups, call 619-296-4543, or visit the web site: www.gsdba.org.
