Project Details

The San Diego Food Bank distributes food to more than 400,000 people monthly and needs our help to continue this service. This County-wide FOOD COLLECTION will benefit the San Diego Food Bank and their mission to feed the hungry. The Buddhist Temple of San Diego is participating as just one of many drop-off locations throughout San Diego County. The final DRIVE-THRU drop-off date is August 17.

Other Locations

If you are unable to get to the Buddhist Temple of San Diego, please consider one of the food drive’s many other locations, typically open Monday through Friday.
