About us
The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank is San Diego County’s leading, local hunger-relief organization. Last year, the Food Bank distributed 44 million pounds of food, and served, on average, 400,000 people per month in San Diego County. The Food Bank recently expanded our efforts in North County with the acquisition of the North County Food Bank. The Food Bank receives food from a variety of sources and through financial contributions that enable us to purchase protein-rich foods, fresh produce, and dry staple foods such as beans, oatmeal, and rice. We also benefit from the generosity of more than 25,000 volunteers annually that help to sort and distribute donated and purchased food products. The Food Bank works to acquire, store, organize, and distribute food through a network of more than 500 nonprofit partner organizations that include food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless and residential shelters, youth programs, senior centers, and low-income daycare centers in communities throughout San Diego County. The Food Bank also distributes food directly to those in need at over 200 distribution sites throughout the county.

In the hot summer months, our 3,400-square-foot freezer is working extra hard to store frozen food products including meat, fruits and vegetables to be distributed to local families experiencing food insecurity. 🚚 Our freezer has a ❄️ cool ❄️ energy-saving innovation called Phase Change Material. This material acts as ice trays that trap and store cool air during the day. These trays then use that stored energy to maintain optimal room temperature, so our warehouse team can turn off the freezer in the evening to save on energy costs. This is just one of the many ways the Food Bank is proactively reducing our carbon footprint. #FoodBankFact #FunFact #Sustainability
