San Diego Food Bank

Today, on World Hunger Day, we’re reminded that hunger isn’t just a global issue. It’s happening right here in our communities.

As families face rising costs and impossible choices, food banks are seeing increased need while critical programs that help provide food and diapers remain at risk.

CalFood funding helps food banks provide nutritious items like meat, eggs, and dairy products that are rarely donated and becoming increasingly difficult to source through federal programs.

Additionally, California’s diaper bank network is at risk of shutting down on June 30 without action in this year’s state budget.

Food and diaper assistance are lifelines for thousands of families across San Diego County, but we cannot do it alone.

Join us in asking lawmakers to fund CalFood and California’s Diaper Bank Network so families can continue accessing the food and essentials they need.

San Diegans are counting on us. Contact your legislator today.

Yesterday, our team quickly mobilized to prepare support for the Community Action Partnership of Orange County following disruptions caused by the Garden Grove chemical leak.

We wanted to take a moment to recognize the incredible staff and volunteers who stepped up immediately when there was a need.

Your willingness to adapt, respond quickly, and stand ready to support our neighbors at a moment’s notice was an incredible display of teamwork, compassion, and dedication to our community.

Thank you to everyone who jumped in yesterday. Because serving our community starts with showing up. 💚

What an incredible day of community coming together 💚

From neighbors leaving bags of food by their mailboxes to letter carriers collecting donations across San Diego County, this year’s National Association of Letter Carriers' Food Drive to "Stamp Out Hunger" was a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish together.

We are anticipating more than 100,000 pounds of donated food, making this year’s drive an even greater success in helping support local families experiencing food insecurity.

Thank you to the incredible letter carriers, volunteers, supporters, and every person who donated. Your kindness will help bring food and hope to our community.

Fresh, nutritious food is available through our Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) distributions for eligible seniors in San Diego County.

If you are 60+ and meet income eligibility requirements, we encourage you to come receive a monthly food package designed to support your health and well-being.

Please help us spread the word to seniors in our community who may benefit from this program!

Through our College Hunger-Relief Program, the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank is helping ensure college students have access to the nutritious food they need to succeed, both in and out of the classroom.

Partnerships like the ASI of CSUSM, Cougar Pantry, help us reach students facing food insecurity and remove one less barrier standing in the way of their education and future.

We’re proud to support students as they focus on learning, growing, and thriving. Together, we’re creating healthier futures for the next generation.
