How to Help
As food insecurity increases during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is essential that our community supports hunger relief efforts throughout San Diego County. There are three ways that you can help ensure that everyone has enough to eat during their time of need:
1) Donate: Making a financial contribution is the safest and most impactful way to make a difference. For example: for every $1 that you donate, a food bank can purchase 4 meals. The gift of money means more meals for more people.
2) Volunteer: All hunger relief nonprofits are currently taking necessary precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure that volunteers have a healthy and fulfilling experience. Many of our partners are in desperate need of volunteers to help distribute food either at a pantry or driving home delivery routes. Here are some nonprofits that need your help:
