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 not enough money for me to survive. I have rent, utilities, food, gas. Right now, I’m tapped out. I don’t have any food.
“I get some disability, but I’m waiting for the rest of it to come in. There’s not enough money for me to survive. I have rent, utilities, food, gas. Right now, I’m tapped out. I don’t have any food. When I was in the Army, I got hurt. Fifty years later, my disability pay is finally catching up. I had to hire an agency to help. I’m going through sleep apnea, lung problems, trauma, arthritis, back pain, all that stuff. My refrigerator is empty. The EBT is $50 a month for a grown man. They say that’s the best they can give me because I’m getting Social Security and a veteran’s pension. That’s still no money. I’ve been canvassing food banks. I lived on the street for years, so I know how to survive, but with my condition and my age, it’s not the same. I’m really glad this is happening here.”
