Our mission at Frisco Fastpacs is simple - to feed children enduring hunger in our community, nourishing their potential for healthier school days. Every week throughout the school year we deliver individual, pre-packed bags to FISD schools that include enough food for 7 meals for each qualifying child for them to eat over the weekend at home. We can only accomplish this mission with your help and the help of others. Along with donations, we are always looking for volunteers who have a servant’s heart and who want to impact and make a difference in the community. Frisco Fastpacs is based solely on private donations of food and funds.

Our mission at Farm Lot 59 is to incubate and inspire the culture of urban farming in our community through education, food accessibility, and by serving as a model of regenerative agriculture practices. We envision a world where our farm is a hub for connection and hands-on learning — a place where you can learn how to grow your own food, explore healthier ways of living, and discover pathways to meaningful local work. Through our Farm to Food Bank program, we provide fresh, nutrient-rich vegetables to our neighbors in need. Our social enterprise flower shop helps fund this work, turning the beauty of our farm into support for the community. And through outdoor education programs, we invite students, volunteers, and visitors to dig in, learn new skills, and see what’s possible in urban farming. We believe in cultivating a healthier, more resilient future — a future where everyone has access to fresh food, opportunities for meaningful work, and the tools to live sustainably. Everything we do is grounded in the principles of responsible agriculture, hands-on education, and creating equitable access to fresh, nourishing food for our entire community.

Mission: We are committed to a culture of responsibility and dignity and to leading our local community in the fight against hunger by efficiently providing access to food and nutritious meals. Feeding San Diego builds local and national partnerships with purpose. Founded in 2007 by the wildfires in San Diego, Feeding San Diego is now the leading hunger-relief organization in the county, distributing healthy food with dignity to San Diego residents struggling with hunger. Our non-profit organization, funded by philanthropic and community support, is devoted to feeding the hungry, advocacy and education. FSD is committed to solving hunger in our communities and informing the public on the issues of food insecurity, nutrition and poverty. We fight hunger locally by working hand-in-hand with partner agencies, local school districts, corporate partners and a network of volunteers to serve 63,000 children, families and seniors in need each week. This past year, we provided over 25 million meals to San Diegans struggling with food insecurity - an 18 percent increase from the previous year, which indicates that more families in need are seeking our services than ever before. Each year, Feeding San Diego is working to move more food into the community in order to close the meal gap. Feeding San Diego takes a holistic approach to solving hunger and food-related issues in our community. We fight hunger locally by working hand-in-hand with 150 agency partners (food pantries, soup kitchens, healthcare centers and other community resources) and through direct service programs in areas central to clients' lives (School Pantries, Mobile Pantry sites, senior centers, USO sites) to provide healthy food with dignity to 63,000 children, families and seniors in need each week. Our unique distribution model, which leverages both national and local partnerships, ensures that we are not simply banking food - we are Feeding San Diego. In addition to our food-service programs, Feeding San Diego acts as an advocate at the local and state level to protect government hunger-relief services like CalFresh. CalFresh is an assistance program crucial to helping low-income, food-insecure families stretch their grocery budgets, freeing limited resources for use on other household essentials. Feeding San Diego holds numerous outreach events designed to help clients determine their CalFresh eligibility and apply to the program.
