Advocacy

Your Voice Can Help Us Strengthen and Promote Long-term Solutions to Ending Hunger

The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank needs your support in the fight against food insecurity in San Diego County.  By contacting key decision makers, supporting legislative campaigns, and helping us educate the community about hunger, you will help make positive change in the lives of our working families.

Take Action!

Local Farmers Feeding Our Communities Act

H.R. 4782 and S. 2338 provide fresh, locally sourced food to working families while supporting local farmers, fishers, and ranchers. These programs strengthen regional food systems, use existing infrastructure, and expand access to nutritious meals across San Diego County.

Tell your member of Congress to co-sponsor H.R. 4782 and S. 2338 today.

Storytelling Collection

During the federal government shutdown, delays in SNAP benefits created real challenges for families trying to afford food. We’re collecting stories from people impacted by these delays to help policymakers understand the importance of timely SNAP benefits and the role Food Bank support played during the shutdown.

If you experienced a SNAP delay, share your story and help inform solutions that protect reliable access to food assistance.
