No Child Goes Hungry on Weekends
2,500+
students fed each year across San Diego County
Got Your Back San Diego ensures local students don't go hungry on weekends by providing food support to children who rely on school cafeterias for daily meals. Without this program, these food-insecure elementary and middle school students would face entire weekends with little or nothing to eat. The mission is clear: to fight childhood hunger in local communities and to end food insecurity, beginning with San Diego's school children, remaining diligent wherever the fight takes them. Weekend food bags filled with nutritious meals bridge the critical gap between Friday afternoon and Monday morning.
"Every child deserves to eat—weekends shouldn't mean going hungry just because school cafeterias are closed."
What makes Got Your Back essential is their focused response to a specific crisis: weekend hunger among school-age children. Your donation provides non-perishable nutritious food like juice boxes, fruit cups, peanut butter, pudding, and easy-to-prepare meals that require no cooking skills or equipment. Monetary gifts ensure each child receives enough food to last through the weekend—transforming anxious hunger into satisfied relief and enabling students to return to school on Monday morning ready to learn rather than distracted by empty stomachs.
