The DBM serves those who are at an economic disadvantage and those who may experience food insecurity and are in need of additional food resources.
The mission of the DBM is to meet the food insecurity needs of the residents of San Diego by creating a fully functioning food pantry providing those who are economically disadvantaged/challenged, and in need of food, to receive it with dignity and respect.
The DBM’s vision is to increase the food distribution and partnerships, in an effort to improve the quality of life for recipients. The DBM is a client choice pantry which allows clients to choose their food items.
Eligibility is based on CalFresh’s Gross monthly income which means a household’s total income before deductions allowed under the program.

5 $2,451-$5,516

Food is obtained from grocery store donations and also purchased from a local food bank and other sources to distribute free of cost or obligation to persons in need of assistance. Having our own truck allows us to take advantage of food donations at any given time at a minimal cost, as well as being able to efficiently transport food purchases.
We purchase and distribute food and other household necessities to individuals and families who have difficulty providing for themselves due to economical, physical, and psychological problems. We distribute at facilities where those benefiting from our efforts are comfortable and we try to get to know them on a personal basis.
Emergency Food Assistance program provides food and other necessities to those most in need. We can offer you and your family an emergency supply of food, depending on what is available! We know times are tough. Please allow us the pleasure of serving you. Because we are involved with our local community, we may be able to provide a referral to other services, so stop by and see what other resources might be available.

Address: 9850 Distribution Ave, San Diego, CA 92121. Get Directions
Hours: Call for hours
The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank is the largest hunger-relief organization in San Diego County. Last year, the Food Bank distributed nearly 20 million pounds of food, and the Food Bank served, on average, 320,000 people per month in San Diego County. The Food Bank receives food from the USDA, food manufacturers, food retailers, the agricultural sector, food drives, and through financial contributions that enable us to purchase protein-rich foods, fresh produce, and dry staple foods such as beans, oatmeal, and rice. We also benefit from the generosity of more than 28,000 volunteers annually that help to sort and distribute donated and purchased food products. The Food Bank works to acquire, store, organize, and distribute food through a network of 330 nonprofit partner organizations that include food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless and residential shelters, youth programs, senior centers, and low-income daycare centers in communities throughout San Diego County. The Food Bank also distributes food directly to those in need at over 150 distribution sites throughout the county. In 2010, the families of Joan and Irwin Jacobs and Stephen and Marjorie Cushman donated $1.76 million to pay off the Food Bank’s mortgage on our Miramar warehouse making the organization effectively debt free. To honor the generosity and long-term support of both families, the Food Bank was renamed the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank.

Tips for Visiting a Food Pantry
Show up early.
This is very important. This means you will be first in line and have a chance to get the items that are sought after and in limited quantities such as fresh produce, dairy and frozen food.
You don't usually need to show up hours ahead of time but coming at least an hour before is usually a good idea.
Remember all documentation.
Some food pantries require documentation to prove who you are, and in some cases, where you live.
This is to make sure people are not coming more than they are allowed or using fake names to do so. Call ahead of time to find out what documentation is needed.
This is often a photo ID and a piece of mail that verifies your address.
Use several food banks.
Using more than one food bank (when available) is smart because you may be able to get something at one that you may not get at another.
For instance, one may have a deal with a local gardener that gives them their extras. This may mean this food bank has more produce.
Eligible for other programs?
Ask your Department of Social Services office if you are eligible for other assistance programs to supplement your household’s food supply.
They can easily tell you if you can apply for WIC (Women, Infants, and Children), USDA Commodities or SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits.
Ask about extras.
If you have special needs for infants or special diets, the pantries may be able to assist you.
Many times, they can help with diapers, baby formula, baby food, personal hygiene products, and even special diet items like gluten free or sugar free foods.
Go on different days of the week.
Depending on the food pantry, they may be open only one or two days a week or they may be open all seven days. When you have a choice, going midweek is often best as it is less crowded.
Be polite to workers.
Nearly everyone at a food bank is a volunteer. Be polite to the workers there as they often deal with highly emotional situations.
