SD Loyal Announces New Volunteer Program, “Heart Of San Diego”

San Diego Loyal SC (SD Loyal), in partnership with USE Credit Union, announced a volunteer program geared towards fans as an opportunity to serve their community through various planned events.

“There are so many benefits to volunteering, and it truly feels good to give back to our community and spread some happiness,” said the newly appointed SD Loyal Vice President of Community Relations, Shannon Mac Millan. “Loyal is committed to our community beyond the success and wins on the field. It is so important to everyone involved with Loyal to give back and provide some happiness. Fans, come on out and help us make a difference with us.”

The club’s newest initiative, “Heart of San Diego”, kicks off volunteer week on Oct. 4 and extends through Oct. 8. The club is working directly with HandsOn San Diego to provide 500 free memberships for fans to sign up for various year-round volunteer opportunities.
