The Matador Community Hub

Matador Students and Families,

As mentioned in our December newsletter, the Matador Community Hub will be hosting our Official Grand Opening on January 24th from 4pm-6pm right before our Freshman Showcase event.

Students and families are welcome to come out and access this free event! We will have the LIVEWELL WoW Bus in attendance in partnership with The Community Health Engagement Team (CHET) and The Hospital and Community Support Services (HCSS) to provide support with:

• Nutrition education and obesity prevention
• public health programs
• behavioral health services and mental health programs
• grandparents raising grandchildren, kinship care provider, and intergenerational programming and information
• COVID-19
• Upcoming County of San Diego community events
• outreach on Calfresh and Medi-Cal programs
• assistance with applying for Calfresh and Medi-Cal benefits
• Providing EBT Cards and EBT Pin Issuance
• inquiries on existing cases.
• as well as Champions for Health assisting our families with vaccinations if desired.

The Matador Community Hub is a space for students and families to receive additional support and resources. We currently provide our students and families access to:

• Food pantry and Food Drive with the assistance of our PTSA.
• Matador closet- where we have gently donated clothing items for students in need.
• Hygiene products
• Hot spot/wifi support
• Pronto Cards
• School supplies

IF we do not have the resource on site we can help you and your family get connected to the resource within the surrounding community. Mount Miguel is here to support our students and families. We know that in order for students to be successful in school they need to have the adequate supports both in and out of school.

We hope to be an invaluable resource to our students and community.

Please scroll through the form below to complete your request for additional resources. A Matador Community Hub staff member will reach out for additional support during school hours and when we are in session.

Thank you.

We now have fresh produce! Please stop by on Thursdays and pick up food at our lower parking lot.
