Month of a Million Meals
Help feed San Diegans in need this holiday season. More than 350,000 people in San Diego County are food insecure, including over 100,000 children.
The government shutdown and delays in critical nutrition benefits have made the past couple months extremely challenging for our community. The effects of missed paychecks and delayed CalFresh benefits may continue to affect San Diegans for months to come. With the holidays around the corner, many of our neighbors will have to prioritize necessities over their holiday traditions.
To help us meet this crisis, and as part of Feeding San Diego’s Month of a Million Meals campaign, our Board of Directors is matching gifts, up to $324,700, for the remainder of 2025.
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.”
