The San Diego Family Justice Center is the most comprehensive "one stop shop" in the nation for victims of family violence and their children. Victims of domestic violence in the City of San Diego can now come to one location to talk to an advocate, plan for their safety, meet with a prosecutor, receive medical assistance, counsel with a chaplain, and obtain nutrition or pregnancy services counseling. The San Diego Family Justice Center is a unique, special, safe place where victims of domestic violence are the highest priority.
The Toby Wells Foundation was formed in January 2001 as a means to make a meaningful difference in honor of Toby Wells. Wells, 28, a third generation San Diegan and avid animal advocate, passed away in May 2000. Wells’ family and closest friends came together to develop the Toby Wells Foundation.
Today, the Toby Wells Foundation is focused on building a brighter future for youth, persons with disabilities and animals by providing both awareness and resources to other non-profit organizations. The Toby Wells Foundation has helped in obtaining contributions exceeding $6 million to local organizations.
