Help end hunger
through food rescue.

“I had to retire, and I’m fighting social security on disability. I’m on my final appeal for January, and if I don’t get approved, I’ll probably be living out the car. Trying to pay for rent, trying to get your health care, trying to deal with the government taking things away that are basic necessities. I don’t know how these families of four and five do it. I don’t know how they manage. It’s just nice to have some resource where you can get some measure of meals. I wish more people could support it. Thank you for those that do [help]. You can’t go and reap some benefit without thanking someone that’s helping you. So to those that do, thank you. For those who haven’t, try.”

“Because of the shutdown, I don’t know if my husband’s going to get paid because we are military. So, it is nerve-wracking. We live paycheck to paycheck. We don’t have extra spending money. It makes me nervous. Especially coming to San Diego, where food is more expensive. My grocery bill has doubled since coming from Florida. So, that’s scary. I was so excited this morning to come here. Because now I know I’m good for this week, and I don’t have to go grocery shopping. It’s a relief. It’s just something that makes me happy. I’m very, very grateful for it. I just want to say thank you. I’m very grateful and continue to donate because you make people happy and you make people feel secure.”
