The report found that the county's hunger relief sector is meeting about 75% of the need, and an additional 11.9 million meals per month would be needed to achieve a nutrition-secure San Diego, where everyone has access to enough healthy food.
A box of food prepared at a food bank distribution in Petaluma, Calif. is shown in this undated photo.
"These data reinforce what we already know — a broken system prevents certain San Diego communities from accessing enough food to thrive," said Anahid Brakke, president and CEO of the San Diego Hunger Coalition.• Nutrition insecurity remains highest among communities of color.
• Inflation impacts the hunger-relief sector. Food banks, pantries and other nonprofit organizations that distribute free food are struggling to keep up with the need as their own operational costs increase. Additionally, the report found that more than one in four San Diegans are nutrition-insecure, including one in three children and youth, and it also provides ZIP-code level breakdowns of the data.
