Why It Matters
Hunger can be hard to recognize, but it is all around us. Hundreds of thousands of people in San Diego County face food insecurity. According to Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap 2024 research, more than 350,000 people living in San Diego County are food insecure. Essentially, someone who is food insecure does not consistently have enough food to lead a healthy life. The effects of food insecurity ripple throughout people’s lives, causing high levels of stress and chronic health issues.
By breaking the cycle of food insecurity, we can help our community thrive.
Our mission at Feeding San Diego is to connect every individual facing hunger with healthy, nutritious food.
We invite you to learn more about the impacts of hunger and why ending hunger in San Diego matters.
