Thank You for Supporting the Summer Food Drive.

Thank You for Supporting the 16th Annual Summer Food Drive

Thanks to you, the San Diego Food Bank's 16th annual Summer Food Drive was a big success! Your generosity is feeding families and kids who count on us most when school meals pause for the summer.

Why Summer Matters

Hunger doesn't take a break when school is out. With free school meals unavailable for local K-12 students who rely on them, families feel the pinch and often turn to the San Diego Food Bank for support. Every barrel you filled, Hunger Bag you purchased, and dollar you donated helped bridge the summer meal gap for the San Diego County residents facing nutrition insecurity.

Thank You to Our Annual Food Drive Partners

This year's Summer Food Drive was made possible by sponsors PNC Bank, Sempra Foundation, Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation, as well as grocery partners Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions. Their support helped stock shelves for our neighbors all summer long.

The Need Doesn't End When Summer Does

Hunger doesn't take the rest of the year off, either. Here's how to stay involved between drives:
