 About the Holiday Food Drive
The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank is hosting its annual Holiday Food Drive this November and December to provide food for those less fortunate this holiday season.
The 2011 Holiday Food Drive runs from Nov. 1 until Dec. 31.
Please drop-off non-perishable food items in our famous red barrels at Vons and Stater Bros. supermarkets throughout the county, or food can be delivered directly to the Food Bank warehouse: 9850 Distribution Avenue, San Diego 92121.
Food raised from the Holiday Food Drive will be distributed to people in need through our 350+ partner charities which include: churches, food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, low-income daycare centers, rehabilitation programs and senior centers.
