San Diego Hunger Coalition is a nonprofit organization based in San Diego, California, that works to improve equitable access to food assistance in San Diego County through research, education, and advocacy, in collaboration with more than 500 community partners. The group operates with 11-50 employees and maintains a website at https://sdhunger.org. It aims to ensure that every individual has access to three culturally appropriate and nutritious meals each day, and highlights nutrition insecurity in the region, noting 824,000 people affected, including 214,000 children, 170,000 older adults 60+, and 135,000 people living with disabilities. The coalition pursues three main objectives: developing a more efficient and equitable network of food assistance programs, increasing participation in government-funded assistance programs, and advocating for policies that reduce hunger and expand access to healthy food. Initiatives include the Sun Bucks program launched in May 2024 as an extension of the Cal Fresh program, an English-language outreach toolkit released in July 2023, and other programs addressing food insecurity and pandemic-related needs.
