(SDCLA)

The San Diego County Latino Association has partnered with Feeding San Diego for a Virtual Food Drive to help feed San Diegans that will begin today and go to 11/21/2025. What is a virtual food drive? Instead of your traditional food drive where you bring in food, the focus will be on monetary donations. Because of the purchasing power that Feeding San Diego has, the breakdown is that every dollar received will amount to two meals!

SDCLA has a goal to reach $2500 for 5000 meals. Because of the recent news of pausing of CalFresh benefits for November, SDCLA wants to help out the community as much as we can. That is why SDCLA will be matching dollar for dollar of contributions received up to $1000.

Feeding San Diego's mission is to connect every person facing hunger with nutritious meals by maximizing food rescue. Last year, Feeding San Diego provided 31 million meals to people facing hunger in San Diego County through a decentralized food rescue model and our distribution network, including more than 350 local charities, schools, colleges, faith communities, healthcare providers, and meal sites across the county. According to Feeding America’s 2025 report, food insecurity is at its highest rate in eight years, with nearly 400,000 San Diegans, 12% of the population, facing food insecurity. It is only through essential partnerships that we can fight hunger and serve as a source of stability for our neighbors.

Please spread the word to your family and friends and let's do what we can for our community!
