Of San Diego’s 3.1 million residents, more than 446,000 people live below poverty level\[2\]. Hunger and food insecurity does not only affect the homeless, it also affects low-income individuals and families who have homes, but struggle daily to put food on the table.   Our team at HomeTeam Property Management wants to make an effort to help the needy in our community. Feeding those who are unaware of where their next meals will come from is a huge task to take on, but we believe we can make a difference.   Join our cause and donate today at our HomeTeam Property Management office location at 821 Bowsprit Road, Chula Vista, CA 91914 ([click for directions](https://maps.google.com/maps?q=821+Bowsprit+Road+.+Chula+Vista,+CA+91914&ie=UTF-8&ei=7aFyUtODD8yi4APryoGIDQ&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAg)).   ---   \[1\] US Census Bureua, Poverty Earnings and Income in San Diego County, 2012, Compiled by CPI, Sep. 2013. \[2\] U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, 2010, Compiled by SANDAG, Nov. 2011.     ![icon](https://www.hometeampm.com/hubfs/Home_Team_2022/Group%205168%20(1).svg) #### SUBSCRIBE TO RECEIVE THE LATEST NEWS Stay in the know with the latest news form the leaders in property management ### Subscribe Here! ### Popular Posts #### The Great Pet Debate: To Allow Pets In Your... | HomeTeam Property Management | 30 January 2020 When you become a landlord, it is up to you to decide what you will...
