Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

The San Diego Food Bank welcomes all of those who seek support with dignity and respect. While the Food Bank primarily focuses on hunger relief, we acknowledge the multifaceted nature of food insecurity. We recognize the need to address the underlying root causes of hunger and we partner with nonprofit organizations committed to addressing these causes. For many of our nonprofit partners, the Food Bank supports the hunger-relief portion of the long-term work they are doing. Our partner network includes school pantries, senior service programs, transitional and affordable housing organizations, college resource centers, refugee services, and sober living facilities that provide clients additional resources to address underlying root causes of hunger.
