Women's History Month with Satia Austin
In celebration of Women’s History Month, we’d like to recognize Satia Austin- one of our trusted messengers and President of the North San Diego County NAACP. Along with helping to get word out about keeping you, your family, and communities safe, She believes that the NAACP is the vehicle for African Americans and other minorities confined in low performing schools or the criminal justice system to find their way out, while also reaching back into the community and helping others along the way.

Every 1st Wednesday of the month, community partners will be providing a variety of essential health screening services, resources and food distribution.
