Our Mission
MAAC San Diego County helps families become strong and independent. Since day one, our goal has been to give local families the tools and support they need to build better lives.
Our Story
Many years ago, local community leaders came together with one goal — to fight poverty in San Diego County. Members from the GI Forum, Hermandad Mexicana, Laborer’s Local #89, the Association of Mexican-American Educators, and the Council of Latin American Clubs joined forces.
Together, they founded the Metropolitan Area Advisory Committee on Anti-Poverty (MAAC) — now known as MAAC San Diego County.
