Summer meals are officially underway.

When school is out for summer, keeping children fed and nourished can become even more challenging for families. That’s why the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank is partnering with the San Diego Central Library to provide free food support for families and children throughout the summer.

Through this partnership, participating City of San Diego library locations are helping connect children and families with nutritious meals and food support all summer long.

Families can access support at participating library locations on weekdays from June 3 through August 27.

Visit our website to find a Summer Meal Site near you and help make summer a little easier for your family 🍏

Be a Hunger Hero this summer!

Today, we’re kicking off our 16th annual Summer Food Drive to help provide nutritious food to children, families, seniors, veterans, and neighbors facing hunger across San Diego County.

Summer can be one of the most difficult times for families experiencing food insecurity, and your support can make a meaningful difference.

You can Be a Hunger Hero by:
🥫 Donating food at participating locations
💚 Hosting a food drive
💻 Starting a virtual food drive
🤝 Making a donation

Together, we can help ensure nutritious food stays on the table for our neighbors this summer.

Thank you to our sponsors! Albertsons, Vons, Pavilions, PNC, San Diego Gas & Electric, and Sycuan Tribe.

Today, changes to CalFresh work requirements take effect, impacting adults applying for and receiving CalFresh benefits. An estimated 93,000 community members currently enrolled in CalFresh could be affected by these changes.

As these changes take effect, we anticipate more neighbors will need support putting food on the table, increasing pressure on hunger-relief organizations across our community.

Now more than ever, we need your help. Your support, whether through donations, volunteering, advocacy, or spreading awareness, helps ensure seniors, families, and veterans continue to have access to nutritious food when they need it most.

Our CalFresh Outreach Team is ready to provide support and guidance to community members navigating these changes. If you have questions regarding CalFresh (SNAP), please contact our CalFresh Outreach Team at (858) 863-5177.

Together, we can help ensure no one faces hunger alone.

Today, on World Hunger Day, we’re reminded that hunger isn’t just a global issue. It’s happening right here in our communities.

As families face rising costs and impossible choices, food banks are seeing increased need while critical programs that help provide food and diapers remain at risk.

CalFood funding helps food banks provide nutritious items like meat, eggs, and dairy products that are rarely donated and becoming increasingly difficult to source through federal programs.

Additionally, California’s diaper bank network is at risk of shutting down on June 30 without action in this year’s state budget.

Food and diaper assistance are lifelines for thousands of families across San Diego County, but we cannot do it alone.

Join us in asking lawmakers to fund CalFood and California’s Diaper Bank Network so families can continue accessing the food and essentials they need.

San Diegans are counting on us. Contact your legislator today.

Yesterday, our team quickly mobilized to prepare support for the Community Action Partnership of Orange County following disruptions caused by the Garden Grove chemical leak.

We wanted to take a moment to recognize the incredible staff and volunteers who stepped up immediately when there was a need.

Your willingness to adapt, respond quickly, and stand ready to support our neighbors at a moment’s notice was an incredible display of teamwork, compassion, and dedication to our community.

Thank you to everyone who jumped in yesterday. Because serving our community starts with showing up. 💚

This Military Appreciation Month, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country and recognize the lasting impact they make within our communities.

At the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank, we are proud to support military families and veterans across San Diego County by helping provide access to nutritious food and essential resources during times of need.

As home to a large military community, our region is made stronger by the dedication, resilience, and contributions of military members, veterans, and their families.

This month and every month, we thank our military community for their commitment, strength, and service. 💚
