The San Diego Community College District is partnering with California Coast Credit
Union and the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank to launch the 7th annual Pack the
Pantry virtual food drive. Running through October 31, 2025, this fundraiser will
directly support food pantries at City, Mesa, Miramar and Continuing Education colleges
– as well as community college campuses across San Diego and Imperial counties. Every
dollar raised provides two meals, and Cal Coast will match donations up to $5,000,
doubling the impact.
Cal Coast President & CEO, Todd Lane shared, “With food prices soaring, campus pantries
have become a lifeline. Access to a well-stocked pantry can mean the difference between
a student staying in school or dropping out. We urge our community to stand with us
and help ensure every student has the nourishment they need to thrive. This is our
chance to turn compassion into action.”
You can even choose which college food pantry your donation supports, making your
gift personal and powerful.
The San Diego Food Bank is generously donating their services to deliver food to participating
community colleges at the end of the fundraiser, ensuring every contribution reaches
students in need.
