The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank is holding its 44th Annual Holiday Food Drive to help San Diegans in need as the holidays can be a time of hunger and uncertainty for thousands throughout the county. From now through Jan. 1, the San Diego Food Bank has a number of opportunities for the community and local businesses to help provide food for our neighbors in need.
Whether making an online donation, hosting a community food drive or virtual food drive, donate nonperishable food items, or participate in the holiday campaign at area Albertsons, Vons, or Pavilions supermarkets, supporting the Holiday Food Drive will help families and individuals this holiday season.
Nonperishable items can be dropped off now through January 1. Pick up a few most needed food items (https://bit.ly/4ev3jIE) and place them in the Food Bank’s red barrels located at the front of local Albertsons, Vons, or Pavilions supermarkets and at participating partner locations throughout San Diego County. All donations will be distributed to San Diegans in need through the Food Bank’s network of more than 500 nonprofit partners.
Now through Nov. 28, San Diegans can help feed hope by donating any amount at checkout at Albertsons, Vons, or Pavilions supermarkets. All proceeds help the Food Bank provide nutritious holiday meals to local families facing hardship.
Beginning December 1 through January 1, the community can purchase $5 Hunger Bags during checkout at Albertsons, Vons, or Pavilions supermarkets. Each bag includes household staples such as canned meats, pasta, canned fruits and vegetables and fruit, rice, and beans.
