To combat ongoing summer hunger, the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank partners with the San Diego Public Library to help bridge the meal gap for students and families who rely on free meals during the school year and ensure no one goes hungry. Through the San Diego Food Bank’s summer meals program and its continued collaboration with local partners, families can find nourishment and support in their own neighborhoods. Ten meal sites across the region are offering free food distributions to any San Diego youth aged 0 to 18, beginning June 3 through Aug. 27. There are no income requirements, ZIP-code restrictions, or identification needed, and meals will be offered to residents even if they are not enrolled in summer programming.
