Students who face food insecurities have a much higher probability of missing classes, dropping classes and dropping out of college all together. To help our local students, we've partnered with the San Diego Food Bank to fill the food pantries at local community colleges to ensure every student has access to nutrition.
Together we can help local college students! Thank you for your generosity!
