Food Drives Hero

The 2025 Turkey Drive is officially underway!

Every year, our Turkey Drive helps thousands of families enjoy the comfort of a traditional Thanksgiving meal. With food prices in San Diego County up 4.4% since last year, we anticipate more families feeling the holiday strain and turning to the Food Bank in greater numbers.

Here's a look at our impact last holiday season thanks to your help!

14,000 turkeys

distributed

11.5 million meals

provided

Your support makes all the difference. A donation to our Turkey Drive helps provide complete Thanksgiving meals — with turkey and all the fixings — to local families in need.

Help us reach our goal by November 22 to ensure families receive their turkeys in time for Thanksgiving.

PROVIDE A THANKSGIVING MEAL

Your gift will help put nutritious food on the table for families in need this season. Thank you for making a difference in our community. We're especially grateful for you this Thanksgiving!

Meet Ann

Affectionately known as “Grandma Ann” in her Campo community, Ann has built her life around family and caring for others. With support from the San Diego Food Bank, she’s able to provide nutritious food for her household and extend that generosity to friends and neighbors by picking up food for those without transportation.

“During the holidays, it is very helpful for families to get a turkey because a lot of families don't go to town, so without the Food Bank, they wouldn’t have one at all,” Ann says.
