Food & Fund Drives
Host a Food Drive to Nourish San Diegans Facing Hunger
Food drives bring people together around a shared purpose: making sure our neighbors have access to the food they need. Whether you collect food in person or raise funds online, your support helps the San Diego Food Bank distribute food to families, seniors, and individuals across the county.
Two Ways to Host a Food Drive
Choose the option that fits your group and timeline — or consider combining both for the most reach.
Looking to make the greatest impact? Many groups choose to run both kinds of food drives! Simply indicate your preference during the registration process.
Donate Nonperishable Food
Already have food to donate? Nonperishable food can be dropped off at one of our designated locations across the county.
