Inside Look Series

Our most recent Inside Look Panel, in alignment with our Fuel for Summer campaign, focused on our Feeding Kids initiative. Participants learned more about the programs dedicated to providing nutrition for our county’s children, giving them the support they need to thrive. Watch the recording and hear from School Pantry representatives from Hamilton Elementary and Hoover High Schools, as well as a few individuals from our staff and volunteer teams that work directly with these programs.

Annual Appreciation Brunch

Thank you for attending our 2023 appreciation brunch for members of The Grove! We invite you to watch our State of the Organization Address as provided by Chief Operations Officer Patty O’Connor, and join us in celebrating the success of last year!

While 35.4 million meals provided is something to be celebrated, we must continue this work for our neighbors and their families. Keep an eye out for updates on our 2024 brunch event, where we hope to exchange ideas once again and stay creative in finding ways to help build a hunger-free and healthy San Diego!

Client Testimonials

A Feeding San Diego School Pantry In Action

As Feeding San Diego staff and board members, we are incredibly appreciative of all you do to support this mission. We are honored to have spoken with students and facility at Hoover High School who have been recipients of your generosity. Watch your impact in action.

Your Impact

We would also be remiss in not sharing an overview of other programs you helped support this last year. There are thousands of people in San Diego who can go to bed at night after a healthy meal with the anticipation of an exciting breakfast for the next morning. All because of you!

As members of The Grove, you are a huge piece of the puzzle that is solving hunger in San Diego. We hope to see you all at an upcoming event.
