Who We Are:

Family is the main focus of the Nice Guys. The majority of the money we raise goes to help families who have somehow “fallen through the cracks.” A medical bill, a car repair, clothes needed after a house fire, a wheelchair for a young man injured while being a Good Samaritan – this is the type of assistance offered by the Nice Guys. Our goal is always to get people back on their feet and to be, once again, self sufficient.

Who We Help:

The Nice Guys have helped hundreds of deserving individuals and families throughout the San Diego community. Each year, we receive hundreds of requests for assistance from needy San Diegans. These requests are individually researched by members of the Charity Committee for approval. Requests come from individuals who might be temporarily unable to work, are caretakers for a special needs family member, or have had some unexpected life changing experience that require one time assistance.
