warehouse. There are a variety of programs including school pantries, a backpack program, and distribution of lunches during the school and winter break periods that support providing healthy meals to low- income students who depend on school food programs. The growing number of homes in need of food in San Diego is alarming, but with organizations coming together as a community, something can be done. The CAI San Diego Community Outreach Committee has recruited participation through an annual food drive, which over the past three years has accumulated more than 5,300 pounds of food. The food collected is distributed by Feeding San Diego to support children, families, and seniors that are not able to sustain hunger-free environments due to their circumstances. Our volunteers also participate for a day at Feeding San Diego, where they organize large batches of donated food into manageable packages for distribution. The 2019 food drive is set to begin on June 1st and run through July 20th where there will be a drop off and volunteer shift. For more information on how to participate, please visit the CAI San Diego website at www.cai-sd.org/events.
