September is Hunger Awareness Month

Creating Equitable Access to Healthy Food

Hunger Awareness Month is an annual initiative that raises awareness about hunger in our region and the most promising solutions and policies to end hunger in San Diego County. This year, we are highlighting collaborative solutions to hunger faced by many San Diegans, building public awareness and creating equitable access to healthy food.

Together, hunger in San Diego is a problem we can solve.
