Helping Empower Community Refugees

HECR started in 2016 when we saw a great need to help families arriving with nothing more than the clothing on their backs. We reached out to fellow helpers and we began finding donations both financial and physical to help families start a new life with the basic items they need.

Helping Empower Community Refugees (HECR), formerly Helping El Cajon Refugees, is a neighborhood group dedicated to supporting refugee resettlement in San Diego. We are an all volunteer non profit in good standing, EIN 99-1861752.

Please consider volunteering, donating and sharing our wishlist. None of this is possible without your help!

We need your help

Everything we do is 100% based on help from our volunteers. Since January 2022, we have helped over 1500 FAMILIES. Make a family feel welcome and safe in our community by checking out the programs below.
