Feed People, Not Landfills
Hunger affects more than 350,000 San Diegans, while perfectly good food goes to waste daily. At Feeding San Diego, we’re bridging this gap by rescuing 90% of the food we distribute. Right now, your generosity goes twice as far: an anonymous donor is matching every gift dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000.
Feed People, Not Landfills
Did you know that nearly 300,000 people face hunger across San Diego County, while 31% 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!

It’s good to know that there are resources like this available because it does help. I think every little bit helps.
“We just moved here in August. We moved from Idaho and my husband is injured medically, so he hasn’t been working for two months, so things have been challenging lately. It’s expensive to live in California. It’s good to know that there are resources like this available because it does help. I think every little bit helps. Every dollar, every penny, it all adds up. I think it’s amazing what you guys are doing to help the community. And it reduces landfill waste. Thank you very much for being thoughtful and generous.”
