Inside the Food Bank's Food for Kids Backpack Program

Julie Moore, Director of Corporate Partnerships and Sponsorships at the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank, and Courtney Pendleton, Public Relations and Community Manager at Mission Fed Credit Union, discuss the Food Bank's  Food for Kids Backpack Program and its role in combating childhood nutrition insecurity across the county. They explore how $8 can feed a child for a weekend, why one in four San Diegans faces nutrition insecurity, the growing number of working families relying on the food bank and how Mission Fed members, branches, and partners mobilize during Hunger Awareness Month to support 4,000 students and their families through schools and community distribution sites.
