Feed Our Heroes
Veterans and active-duty military families make significant sacrifices. Access to nutritious food shouldn’t be one of them. Feed Our Heroes supports a network of partners that serve the military community to ensure they have the food they need.

Many veterans, active-duty service members, and military families struggle with the high cost of living here in San Diego. They already make so many sacrifices for us. Access to nutritious food shouldn’t be one of them.
In partnership with local nonprofits serving veterans and military members, Feeding San Diego seeks to serve and support members of our military and veterans when they face hard times. We work with local nonprofits serving veterans and military members to meet this need. Through Feed Our Heroes, we provide food to partner agencies, schools, and mobile pantries.
There’s a lot of people like me, they need food, they need to eat, they have kids.
“I’m a single mom. I’m not working because one of my sons, he’s diabetic, type one. So, it’s very difficult for me to get food. And this is a good resource to get it. And I can feed my son and my daughter. And they can come to school and learn and stay more active with the resources. I feel very comfortable, happy, and I don’t have words to describe how I’m feeling because I think we have more resources than other places at school. It’s easy to come, pick up our kids, and at the same time, pick up food; it’s very helpful. With your help, this can happen. So, there’s a lot of people like me, they need food, they need to eat, they have kids.”
