Today is an exciting day because we just hit 1,000,000 pounds of food distributed to communities across San Diego!
Of the 1 million pounds of food distributed, 55% has been fresh produce, providing families with access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Our Mobile Food pantry began in 2021. Since then, we have grown the program to serve over 150 families in our Neighbor to Neighbor program and 23 partner organizations. Through hosting distributions at schools, senior centers, low income housing complexes, churches, after school programs, refugee resource centers, emergency food shelters, and domestic violence drop in centers, the Love Does team has been able to provide food for so many who are experiencing food insecurity.
Our Mobile Food Pantry doesn’t just show up with food. We show up consistently, building relationships, and reminding our neighbors that they are not alone. Reaching one million pounds is a milestone worth celebrating, but behind that number are thousands of families, countless meals, and a community of people showing up to make this all happen. We are so grateful for the San Diego Food Bank who has helped make this possible!
As the need for food continues to grow across San Diego, we want to expand our Mobile Food Pantry so we can reach even more families and partner organizations. Our next goal is to get another refrigerated box truck, which would allow us to double our distribution efforts and bring fresh, nutritious food to even more communities.
Want to help us reach the next million pounds?
Join us in growing this program and making sure more of our neighbors have access to the food they need. Together, we can make an even greater impact!
