From My Perspective by Lindsey Seegers, Distribution Network Engagement Manager

Dear Feeding San Diego friends,

My name is Lindsey Seegers, and I am the Distribution Network Engagement Manager here at Feeding San Diego. My role is to foster community relationships with Feeding San Diego’s partners: more than 150 nonprofits, faith communities and residential facilities. I also focus on increasing fresh produce distribution to underserved communities throughout San Diego County.

I love my role here because I have the opportunity to witness the generosity of dedicated, passionate partners and volunteers serving their communities. It is an honor to highlight the thoughtful ways partners promote dignity, client choice and health.

Another exciting area of innovation this year is Feeding San Diego’s new college partnerships. Community colleges are very diverse, educating students who balance employment and family. People are shocked to learn that a large percentage of local community college students are struggling with food insecurity, and the difficulty of trying to do well at school while not having enough to eat.

Connecting more people in need with food at already convenient places is so important, and these college partnerships do just that.

At the end of the day, hunger could affect any one of us, so it’s up to all of us to spread the word and be a part of the solution to end hunger.

Thank you, Lindsey
