Turn awareness into action during Hunger Awareness Month.

September is San Diego Hunger Awareness Month, a time to educate and unite our community in the fight against food insecurity. Hunger often hides in plain sight, affecting working families, college students, seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, active-duty military, and more. As economic uncertainty persists and the cost of living remains high, food assistance has become a necessary part of many San Diegans' budgets.
