San Diego, CA (April 9, 2024)—TrueCare, a nonprofit community health center serving North San Diego and South Riverside counties, welcomes Jimmy Figueroa as their Donor Relations Manager. In this new role, Figueroa will drive fundraising initiatives, orchestrate donor campaigns, and cultivate community connections to elevate awareness about TrueCare’s comprehensive services, programs, and resources. The move underscores the health center’s commitment to broadening its reach and enhancing quality health care access for all.
Figueroa brings a wealth of experience in the nonprofit and community outreach spheres to his role at TrueCare. His previous tenure as Executive Director for Operation Hope North County exemplifies his dedication to serving locally and advocating for equitable access to essential services. As an Oceanside native, he’s promoted social well-being as a program manager for a regional community clinic and earned the respect of local nonprofit and government leaders. Currently, Figueroa is a candidate for the Oceanside City Council in 2024.
