In 2024, a commercial soap manufacturer donated 108,000 pounds of imperfect soap to Soap Donation Center. The soap had been scheduled to be delivered to a Southern California landfill in 3 big rig semitrailers. Soap Donation Center arranged for 2 big rig trucks to deliver to local charities: 60,000 bars of soap to Dream Center and another 60,000 to Father Joe's Villages. The remaining big rig truck delivered 60,000 bars of soap in 24 pallets to AmVets, who generously donated their warehouse storage space to Soap Donation Center.
Board members and volunteers, along with members of San Diego Elks Lodge #168, sorted through the 24 pallets of soap, which contained bars, loaves, and slabs of soap. Soap Donation Center contacted charities and organizations to receive pallets of soap, including the Assistance League of Greater San Diego, La Mesa-Spring Valley Schools, Love in the Mirror, Grossmont College, Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility, Support the Enlisted Project (STEP), and Third Avenue Charitable Organization (TACO). The loaves and slabs of soap were cut down and donated locally. In all, 180,000 bars of soap were diverted from the landfill and given to people in need of soap.
