Join Us for the San Diego Food Bank's 15th Annual Summer Food Drive!
Hunger doesn’t take a summer vacation — and neither do we.
Hunger doesn’t take a break when school is out during the summer months. Local families feel the pinch and often turn to the San Diego Food Bank, the county’s regional food safety net, for assistance. Help us feed the need and bring hope to children and families experiencing food insecurity by supporting the San Diego Food Bank’s 15th annual Summer Food Drive.
Here’s how you can help this summer:
1. Donate a $5 Hunger Bag at Checkout
June 4-July 6
Stop by any Albertsons, Vons, or Pavilions in San Diego County and donate a $5 Hunger Bag during checkout. Each bag is pre-filled with our most-needed items to nourish local families and children in need. Just tell your cashier know at checkout, and your donation will be added to your total.
2. Drop Off Food Donations at Your Local Store
June 4-August 5
Look for our iconic red barrels inside all area Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions locations. Donate unopened, nonperishable food to help keep our shelves stocked throughout the summer.
Most-needed items include:
- Canned meats and fish
- Canned fruits and vegetables
- Canned soups and stews
- Peanut butter
- Cereal and oatmeal

3. Give Online
Every $1 you give helps provide two nutritious meals to a neighbor in need. Your donation makes an immediate impact and supports our hunger-relief efforts all summer long.
4. Host a Virtual Food Drive
July 7-August 5
Rally your coworkers, friends, or community group to start a Virtual Food Drive. It’s a powerful, simple way to help feed families across our region — and it only takes a few minutes to set up.
We stretch every dollar to purchase healthy, high-demand items like fresh produce, frozen proteins, and dry goods. You’ll receive a custom link to share, so you can raise funds anytime, from anywhere.
Thank you to our 15th annual Summer Food Drive sponsors!
