Fuel for Summer
There are nearly 500,000 K through 12 students in San Diego County, and over 240,000 of those students rely on free or reduced-price meals while in school. That means almost 50% of San Diego County students lose access to nutritious meals in the summer months.
Help ensure children have the fuel they need.

Fuel for Summer aims to fill the gaps so children can enjoy their summers rather than worry about their next meal. During the summer, Feeding San Diego partners with libraries, recreation centers, and schools across the county to host sites where families can receive free groceries and meals all summer. We need your help to support critical summer food distributions throughout the county. All children deserve to have the nutrition they need to grow and thrive over the summer months and beyond.

“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.”
