The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints congregations throughout San Diego County are teaming up with the Boy Scouts of America San Diego-Imperial Council’s Scouting for Food campaign and local business partners to collect nonperishable food donations for the San Diego Food Bank and the North County Food Bank chapter.
The San Diego Food Bank feeds an average of 400,000 per month through its network of 500 nonprofit partners, 200 direct food distributions, and 35 Super Pantries which are high-volume distribution hubs open throughout the week. Of San Diego County’s 3.3 million residents*, nearly 1.1 million people face nutrition insecurity.** Of this number, 284,500 are children.** Nutrition insecurity means that little or no safe and nutritious food is available at home. Currently, 40% of children in San Diego County face nutrition insecurity in San Diego County.** (*U.S. Census Bureau. 2020) (**San Diego Hunger Coalition. 2021).
