Fuel for Summer
There are nearly 500,000 K through 12 students in San Diego County, and over 240,000 of those students rely on free or reduced-price meals while in school. That means almost 50% of San Diego County students lose access to nutritious meals in the summer months.
Help ensure children have the fuel they need.

Fuel for Summer aims to fill the gaps so children can enjoy their summers rather than worry about their next meal. During the summer, Feeding San Diego partners with libraries, recreation centers, and schools across the county to host sites where families can receive free groceries and meals all summer. We need your help to support critical summer food distributions throughout the county. All children deserve to have the nutrition they need to grow and thrive over the summer months and beyond.
The donors are helping me attain a career, so I can eventually not need the services and maybe even give back the way they have.
“I’m a full-time college student. I have two kids, and my wife is pregnant. So, I come to the food pantry so we can get by, and it helps us a lot. I’m working at the Temecula Valley Hospital as a CNA and going to school for nursing. We’ve definitely felt the prices go up. Honestly, if I was just working a full-time job, I don’t even know how I would be able to afford groceries and rent in Southern California. I would just like to say thank you. There are people who need it, and it’s helping families get by and keeping people from being hungry. Luckily, with all the resources, with the help of the donors and the resources we have in California for people of low income, it’s allowed me to be able to go to school. The donors are helping me attain a career, so I can eventually not need the services and maybe even give back the way they have.”
