Feeding San Diego, the region’s only Feeding America partner food bank, is calling on the community to help sustain and expand its growing School Pantry Program at the start of the 2025-26 school year. After adding an additional 21 school pantries to the program last school year, it is now operating at 62 schools across San Diego County. The non-profit is delivering nutritious groceries directly to students and families starting this month during back-to-school season, as high inflation continues to impact kids living in low-income households. With schools continuing to approach the non-profit to be part of the program, it's clear that there is an urgent need for support with basic needs on school campuses across the county. The School Pantry Program is a proven, longstanding hunger-relief program that provides nutritious food to students and their families on school campuses at no cost to them. In addition to the 62 schools, there is a waitlist of 58 schools who are waiting to join the program, representing thousands of households who need support bringing meals home.
