Every year during the High Holy Days, our community supports San Diegans experiencing hunger through our annual community food drive.
As high cost of living continues to affect our community, more of our neighbors are facing food insecurity. According to the San Diego Hunger Coalition, nearly 1 in 4 (25%) San Diegans are nutrition insecure.* As the critical need for nutrition continues to rise, we’re counting on your support to meet the urgent needs of our community.
