Thanksgiving is a day of giving thanks – for our friends and family, for health and wealth. And while 2020 has been a challenging year, many of us are grateful. But the reality is that many San Diegans are struggling financially and are unable to feed their families. With the pandemic still raging, the need has intensified. That’s why the Cornell Club of San Diego is participating in the San Diego Food Bank Virtual Food Drive. This is an opportunity to give generously to an organization that is directly serving our communities and neighbors directly.

Thank you for your generosity and Happy Thanksgiving!

Food Insecurity in San Diego:

Of San Diego County’s 3.2 million residents, 450,000 people face food insecurity every day.* Of this number, 177,000 are children.* Food insecurity means that little or no food is available at home, and those who are food insecure do not know how they will get their next meal. Currently, 1 in 7 adults, and 1 in 5 children face food insecurity in San Diego County.* (*San Diego Hunger Coalition. San Diego County Food Insecurity Report, 2019.)
