Where to Find Free Thanksgiving Food and Holiday Meal Ingredients
Feeding San Diego recognizes how difficult the holidays can be for our neighbors facing food insecurity. That’s why we provide free Thanksgiving food and ingredients for holiday meals this time of year. In addition to providing ingredients for Thanksgiving and other holiday meals, we host holiday food distributions throughout the county. We’ve put together a list of upcoming distributions.
Please note that details are subject to change, and food is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
