Each year, Feeding San Diego provides more than 35 million meals to children, families, seniors, college students, military families, and veterans in partnership with a network of 370 local charities, schools, faith-based organizations, aer school programs and food pantries. Nearly 70 percent of the food provided to the community is rescued from local and national food donors. By diverting nearly 28 million pounds of high quality food from going to waste, Feeding San Diego protects people and the planet. Due to a combination of persistent inflation, ongoing challenges created by the pandemic, and the increased cost of living, hundreds of thousands of San Diegans across the county are in need of food assistance. 9477 Waples Street, Suite 100 San Diego, CA 92121 858.452.3663 feedingsandiego.org @feedingsandiego Feeding San Diego needs your support to help achieve the following goals for the coming year: • Eliminate hot spots of hunger across San Diego County by growing Feeding San Diego's produce pantry program to provide more nutritious food and increase access for anyone in need of food assistance • Expand Feeding San Diego's school pantries to more local schools to combat childhood hunger • Scale Feeding San Diego's food rescue program to identify more local and national food donors and divert nutritious food before it goes to waste Thanks to the efficiency of its network, every dollar donated to Feeding San Diego helps provide two meals to people facing hunger.
