Feed People, Not Landfills
Did you know that nearly 300,000 people face hunger across San Diego County, while 38% of all food produced is wasted in the US? Feeding San Diego rescues high-quality food before it goes to waste and gets it to people facing hunger.
When we toss still-edible food into the trash, it ends up in landfills. Once there, it creates methane. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, 34 percent of all methane emissions in the US come from landfills. At Feeding San Diego, we want to Feed People, Not Landfills.
Our goal is to end hunger through food rescue, protecting people and the planet. And we couldn’t do it without you. Your support helps recover high-quality food from food donors and get it to people facing hunger. Learn more about how we work, or scroll down to find out more about how you can help!

“We don’t qualify for food stamps. It’s a one-income household right now, so anything food-wise helps tremendously right now. It feels good that you guys are out here. It just feels really good. We go through food. We have two growing girls and it’s really hard to keep up with her snacks and lunches, and then also making dinner and breakfast, so anything helps. Thank you for the food. Thank you for your time, your energy, your support. It’s very greatly appreciated if people want to give back.”
