In the hot summer months, our 3,400-square-foot freezer is working extra hard to store frozen food products including meat, fruits and vegetables to be distributed to local families experiencing food insecurity. 🚚 Our freezer has a ❄️ cool ❄️ energy-saving innovation called Phase Change Material. This material acts as ice trays that trap and store cool air during the day. These trays then use that stored energy to maintain optimal room temperature, so our warehouse team can turn off the freezer in the evening to save on energy costs. This is just one of the many ways the Food Bank is proactively reducing our carbon footprint. #FoodBankFact #FunFact #Sustainability

We provide nutritious food to people in need, advocate for the hungry & educate the public about hunger-related issues.
About us
The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank is San Diego County’s leading, local hunger-relief organization. Last year, the Food Bank distributed 44 million pounds of food, and served, on average, 400,000 people per month in San Diego County. The Food Bank recently expanded our efforts in North County with the acquisition of the North County Food Bank. The Food Bank receives food from a variety of sources and through financial contributions that enable us to purchase protein-rich foods, fresh produce, and dry staple foods such as beans, oatmeal, and rice. We also benefit from the generosity of more than 25,000 volunteers annually that help to sort and distribute donated and purchased food products. The Food Bank works to acquire, store, organize, and distribute food through a network of more than 500 nonprofit partner organizations that include food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless and residential shelters, youth programs, senior centers, and low-income daycare centers in communities throughout San Diego County. The Food Bank also distributes food directly to those in need at over 200 distribution sites throughout the county.

For many local students, schools provide their best chance at getting a nutritious meal. So what happens during the summer break? CBS 8 has teamed up with Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank for the Summer Food Drive! From now until August 20, you can drop off any nonperishable and unopened food item at all 75 local Albertsons, Vons and Pavillions. Just look for the Food Bank’s iconic red donation barrels. Those donated items will go toward feeding kids and families in San Diego who are experiencing nutrition insecurity. For more info and to learn how to make a monetary donation online, go to cbs8.com/community.

Congratulations to Tricia, our June Employee of the Month! 🎉 In her role as the Food Bank's Purchasing Coordinator, Tricia works hard behind the scenes with our Operations and Food Center teams, as well as our vendors and donors to facilitate donations and food purchases for the families we serve. Tricia's peers nominated her for going above and beyond her daily responsibilities. "Tricia has been an absolute star in involving herself with our nonprofit partners and utilizing their feedback in our procurement practices, going beyond her job role and into the weeds of our inbound and outbound processes," her peers explained. When asked why she enjoys working at the Food Bank, Tricia shared, "It’s fulfilling work. Our programs have a direct, immediate impact supporting communities at all stages from infants through seniors." A big round of applause for Tricia! 👏 Thank you for your commitment to the Food Bank's important mission and the families we serve. #EmployeeOfTheMonth
