The Community Food Connection

The Community Food Connection Open Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Zip codes serviced - 92064, 92127, 92128,92129,92131. We do not turn anyone away.

The Community Food Connection is a vital program for needy families in our local community. Through the generous donations of businesses and individuals, we are able to provide food to families who are being impacted by the current economic crunch. Presently there are many parents in our area who are finding it difficult to provide adequate food for their families. Many youth in our area do not ha

ve adequate nutritional support to help them do well in school. To add to this there is a growing number of older adults whose fixed income has been seriously affected by inflation. As a result, all of these folks are finding it increasingly difficult to put food on the table. Often we see people on street corners and intersections asking for donations. As sincere as some may be, one is not always certain where donations to such individuals may go. Therefore programs like ours offer a real alternative. Those coming to our food distribution are not getting cash but real food that can fill empty stomachs. We have been a partner with the San Diego Food Bank for over four years. Part of the food comes from the San Diego Food Bank Emergency Food Assistance Program (EFAP), but we augment this with additional supplies that we purchase from the Food Bank. Not all needy families qualify under the income guidelines for assistance, so we have been purchasing additional supplies to provide for them. The Food Bank supplies six to eight items per family per month. We supplement these items supplied by the Food Bank with additional items that we purchase. We also receive produce donations from the Backyard Produce Project
We currently provide produce, bread, canned goods, dried goods, and meat to over 250 families per month (without any bias of race, religion or gender) but with the increasing number of individuals facing economic crisis we need additional partners to meet this need. Therefore we are asking you or your business to commit either by a monthly donation or a onetime gift to partner with us in this worthy endeavor. All donations are tax deductible under the Internal Revenue Code. We are a non-profit organization and our EIN is 46-4584038. Thank you so much for your consideration of this matter. Sincerely,


Bill Rearick

We are reaching out today because we have a real need for drivers - without our valuable driving team, the nutritious food never makes it from our partner stores to our needy neighbors.

🚛 Big Truck day came and went once again, and we had two great groups of people there to help manage the enormous amount of incoming supplies.

Locals from Cytek Biosciences https://www.facebook.com/cytekbio stopped by to pitch in, along with friends from Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Club – very cool!

This is not the first time these teams have stopped by to lend time 🕰️ and muscle 💪 , moving masses of nutritious food for our neighbors in need – we are incredibly grateful.

If you can believe it, it takes around 300 volunteers to effectively operate the CFC each year, and these community partnerships are essential to our success.

You've still got one more day left to vote for us - Thank you!

For the 2nd year in a row, the Rancho Bernardo team from JPMorgan stopped by to help us manage the enormous amount of food that comes on the BIG TRUCK.

What a bunch of awesome folks!

Our EFAP distribution is a major undertaking – this year they packed up 816 bags to hand out to neighbors in need.

We are blessed with such a community! Thanks so much to the RB JPMorgan team!
