Über uns
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.

Meet Clay, our corporate partnerships assistant manager who wanted to share his story of why he cares about ending hunger in San Diego County. "As a San Diego native, my community has always supported me. Working at Feeding San Diego, I get to help strengthen my community and see it grow and thrive. Seeing businesses and community members come together to combat hunger and ensure that all San Diegans have equitable access to nutrition inspires me to continue the fight against hunger and give back to a community that has given me so much." #nonprofit #hungerrelief #foodrescue #giveback

Our Impact Report for FY24 is out now. Feeding San Diego evaluates our impact not just by output, but by the real life stories of the people who access our resources and the evolution of the programs and initiatives that are targeted to reach our neighbors experiencing food insecurity. This past year, thanks to our donors and our stakeholders, we were able to provide emergency response to neighbors affected by the flooding, add additional Feeding Heroes food distributions on military bases, and expand the Feeding San Diego Marketplace at our headquarters in Sorrento Valley – and so much more. Take a look to learn more about the impact created thanks to our community's support.

Today is World Senior Citizen's Day! Seniors must embrace unique health, economic, mobility, and nutritional challenges that can come with aging. It’s not always easy, especially for seniors facing food insecurity. Today we are highlighting Rosa, an incredible woman and senior who established a food distribution at her mobile home community nearly 15 years ago to support her neighbors.

We are so excited to partner with HEALTHY DAY PARTNERS to launch their Straight 2 the Plate® Mobile Classroom! Healthy Day Partners received a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to start this new program, which is an extension of Grab & Grow Gardens®. The first workshop took place at the Valley Center Produce Pantry where Feeding San Diego distributes produce to community members twice a month. The Straight 2 the Plate® program addresses key barriers to home gardening in urban areas, such as low land ownership and limited transportation access. Through gardening workshops that “pop up” at food distributions, affordable housing complexes, local tribes, and military communities. Mobile classroom participants construct and take home portable, seasonal gardens in 5-gallon buckets and windowsill containers. In addition to hands-on experience creating these instant gardens, participants receive gardening tools and multi-language handbooks, fostering confidence in year-round crop cultivation. Mim Michelove, CEO and president, and her team have been distributing seedlings at the FSD Produce Pantry since 2023, working to empower children, seniors, active military, veterans, and marginalized populations experiencing food insecurity to grow their own food. It's always our goal to expand partnerships that help increase food sovereignty and food access. #nonprofit #hungerrelief #giveback #foodsovereignty #foodaccess #feedingamerica
