Ending Hunger Through Food Rescue

31 percent of food in the United States goes to waste. That means there is more than enough food available to end hunger. By partnering with over 760 food donors in San Diego County and over 50 farms and packing sheds throughout California, Feeding San Diego rescues high-quality surplus food before it goes to waste.

In 2024-2025, 90 percent of the food we provided to the community was rescued.

By diverting this food from the landfill, Feeding San Diego significantly reduces harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Learn more about our impact.
