Stated Purpose:
Help end hunger through food rescue.
Year, State Incorporated:
2007, CA
At Feeding San Diego, we strive to connect every person facing hunger in San Diego with healthy food. So how can we achieve this goal? It’s simple – through food rescue. More than 31% of food produced in
the U.S. goes to waste every year. Feeding San Diego rescues high-quality, nutritious, surplus food from all types of food donors, such as farms and grocery stores. Then, we work with community partners who distribute the food to people in need.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, Feeding San Diego's program expenses were:

| Total Program Expenses | $72,183,758 |
