Philanthropy

SLO Skiers are actively involved in both active volunteerism and making financial contributions to many different types of charitable organizations.
We have been working monthly at the SLO Food Bank as well as doing beach cleanups at several of the local beaches. If you'd like to jump in and participate, please contact: philanthropy@sloskiers.org
