Welcome to

Talofa lava,
The

In light of the several major events in the recent months (one of being
the Earthquake/Tsunami that hit our islands), the Samoan Community
Council of San Diego (SCCSD) will not be able to promote and facilitate

DISASTER RELIEF
SAN DIEGO
The efforts of the Samoa Disaster Relief-San Diego Task
Force and Command Center is now closed. After operating the Command
Center for 4 consecutive weeks working 10 to 14 hours days, we have
concluded our efforts in taking in non-perishable and monetary
donations. With the awesome dedication and hard work of all the
volunteers and sponsors who made the Command Center a valuable mission
for our homelands of SAMOA, we were able to raise a total of more
than $60,000 in monetary donations and 3 Containers full of
non-perishables, clothing and supplies estimated at 15,000 lbs. of
goods which was airlifted and sent directly to aid American Samoa and
Samoa. All monetary donations were channeled via American Red
Cross-American Samoa and the Red Cross Society-Samoa. A special
heartfelt thanks to the Reverend Faafouina Solomona and the members of
the First Samoan Congregational Christian Church for allowing the
Command Center to utilize the church property, buildings and facilities
to make this mission possible. Ia viia le Atua!
At this time, if you are still interested in donating
please contact the American Red Cross-San Diego Chapter directly to
arrange for drop off. Monetary donations should be made out to:
The Command Center phone
number is still active; if you have any questions in regards to
Monetary donations please call 619-255-4702.
