Congratulations and thank you to all of our participating companies for taking part in the Finest City Food Fight to support hunger relief!
More than 30 companies across San Diego County took a stand against hunger and participated in this competition to support Feeding America San Diego during September's Hunger Action Month. In just 30 days, teams collectively raised more than $37,000, provided 550 hours of volunteering, and donated 4,860 pounds of food. Their hard work will provide roughly 231,000 meals to hungry children, families, and seniors who are struggling to put food on their table.
