Thank you to everyone involved in the second annual Uniting to Combat Hunger Food Drive last month! Participating Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) posts across the county collected over 5,000 pounds of food for Feeding San Diego! They also raised raised funds through a virtual food drive. In turn, they received $9,000 from Humana to be put towards projects at their posts. The food donated to Feeding San Diego will be distributed to military families and veterans in need of food assistance this holiday season, and the campaign will provide much-needed funds to the posts for updates. Thank you to Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and Humana for partnering with us to help support our local military community. #nonprofit #feedingheroes #fooddrive #funddrive #partnerships #endhunger

About us
Feeding San Diego is a non-profit organization on a mission to connect every person facing hunger with nutritious meals by maximizing food rescue. Established in 2007, Feeding San Diego rescues surplus food from local and national food donors before it goes to waste and gets it to people facing hunger in San Diego County. It is the only Feeding America partner food bank in the region. Each year, the hunger-relief organization provides more than 35.4 million meals to children, families, seniors, college students, military families, and veterans in partnership with a network of nearly 350 local charities, schools, colleges, faith communities, healthcare providers, and meal sites. It operates nine distinct programs countywide that support people facing hunger with food assistance or resources. More than 76 percent of the food distributed by Feeding San Diego is rescued, allowing high-quality food to be redirected instead of going to waste. By diverting more than 31 million pounds of food from the landfill, Feeding San Diego protects people and the planet. Every $1 donated helps provide two meals to people facing hunger.

Volunteers are the heartbeat of our organization. In fact, volunteers are the heartbeat of ALL nonprofits.

You all blew us away with your generosity this #GivingTuesday. We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support shown yesterday. Between our annual telethon with ABC 10News San Diego | KGTV Channel 10 and online giving, we raised funds to provide 852,184 meals to our neighbors in need in just ONE DAY. Last year, Feeding San Diego provided more than 29 million meals throughout San Diego County thanks to the incredible support of our community. Your continued support, whether you volunteer or make a financial contribution, is helping us make the holidays brighter for San Diegans facing hunger and keeps our programs running all year long. THANK YOU! Also sending a special thank you to the San Diego Foundation, the David C. Copley Foundation, and the Scripps Howard Fund for matching gifts yesterday, as well as the chefs, athletes, personalities, and notable San Diegans who joined us at the telethon to help drive donations.

Meet our November Volunteer of the Month, Kevin! Kevin is one of our amazing volunteer drivers who does two weekly pickups for our food rescue team. His contributions directly support the millions of pounds that are rescued each month. Our team relies on him for his attention to detail, positive attitude, and willingness to jump in where needed. Fun fact: Kevin was introduced to our organization through his daughter, Christina, after she joined Feeding San Diego's marketing & communications team back in 2021! Thank you, Kevin, for being a standout volunteer! #nonprofit #hungerrelief #foodrescue #giveback

One of the best parts of being a Feeding America partner food bank is the sense of camaraderie within the network of food banks around the country who are all working towards the same goal. In late September, Hurricane Helene left thousands of people displaced and in need of resources across multiple states. So many communities are still rebuilding and will be for many months to come. When San Diego experienced severe flooding earlier this year, many vendors and food banks from other states donated food to our community, and we wanted to do the same for those affected by these natural disasters. Feeding America advised that we connect with Golden Harvest Food Bank in Augusta, Georgia to see what their needs are and to share resources. Thanks to the hard work of our team and the support of the San Diego community, a truckload of 20 pallets worth of food was shipped to Golden Harvest Food Bank last week. Helping others in need is something to be grateful to have the privilege to do, this week and always 🧡 #nonprofit #hungerrelief #disasterrelief #feedingamerica
