Help end hunger
through food rescue.

“I live on social security. My social security check is $495 a month. It’s not that much. I’ve got to pay bills. The problem is when you live this far out you gotta drive anywhere to get anywhere. You gotta drive to Ramona or Escondido. And gas is outta control, economy’s outta control. Food’s expensive. I’ve been coming here for about five years. It helps. They have a lot of vegetables and stuff. It helps me save since I’m on a fixed income. This food distribution helps people out here who live on a fixed income like I do.”

“A lot of county help got cut off; rent has gone higher; me and my husband both gotta work and still have to make needs. Kids need shoes, a lot of things, and we have to make needs and half of the time, we’re short on groceries. It’s wonderful just knowing that we can get fresh fruit and vegetables, snacks that I can put in their backpacks in case they get hungry. It’s actually fresh vegetables and fruits, so the kids can benefit from it quite a bit. I want to say thank you. Thank you so much for helping us out. I hope this continues because a lot of moms actually need it, and I’m one of them.”

“Everything is so expensive now, so when I heard food, it was awesome. It seems like every month, they’re changing the price of things. Every time we get help with food, we want to come out and get it because everything keeps going up. It’s a lot of budgeting. My husband is deployed right now, and we just live on his income. It’s important to give to organizations like this because it helps people. With everything increasing, it helps a lot of people. This definitely helps military families feel appreciated. It feels like someone is looking out for us, and we appreciate that.”
