Business & Community Resources

Lifeline Adopt-A-Family Program

YOU can make wishes come true this holiday season. For many of our Lifeline families, a holiday dinner and gifts for their kids can be an impossible dream. That’s where Lifeline’s Adopt-A-Family program steps in. Every year, generous community members help us give hard-working families a little extra help by making their holidays special with toys, clothes, and gift cards—all selected from their wish lists to guarantee a festive season. Learn more about how to participate here.

Measuring Business Confidence in Our Region

The College of Business Administration (CoBA) at CSU San Marcos is launching an important new program and are requesting your input. CoBA plans to conduct a study twice a year to measure business confidence in our region. Members of the business community are surveyed and asked about the local and national economy, sales, profits and hiring expectations. The results are used to construct a Business Confidence Indix for the region. The survey is very short and takes most people about two to three minutes to complete.

As a thank you for participating in the survey, CoBA will hold a random drawing for four $50 Amazon gift cards for respondents. Complete the survey here.
