How do we end hunger?

For months, we’ve watched the images from San Diego to Dallas to Pittsburgh of long lines of cars with men and woman waiting patiently, hopefully, for food they could no longer afford to buy. We read the news about how, even before the pandemic began, hunger was a gnawing problem. In San Diego, one in seven residents were said to be food insecure. Now, after waves of lockdowns and downturns, that number is more like one in three. So I set out to use this first column of the year to ask why we who live in the richest nation on the planet cannot resolve to end hunger once and for all. Period. End stop. Drop the mic.

(Courtesy Print In a normal year, almost 10% of San Diego residents do not have reliable access to sufficient food. With the pandemic, this has increased dramatically. Thousands of residents go hungry each day. In response, the Rotary Club of Del Mar has raised money for the San Diego Food Bank and Kitchens for Good. Scott MacDonald of Del Mar and Kathy Reed of San Diego presented a check for $3,000 to Jim Floros, CEO of the San Diego Food Bank on Dec. 20. The Food Bank normally serves 350,000 people each month, but the demand has significantly increased as a result of the Covid pandemic. According to Floros, the Food Bank now serves about 600,000 people per month, and the Food Bank is very appreciative of financial support during these challenging times from the Rotary Club and others.

Despite increased food distribution, thousands still going hungry

SAN DIEGO Charities, nonprofits and service providers throughout the county have expanded food programs this year to help people in need during the pandemic, but leaders in those organization say people still are going hungry despite their efforts. Deacon Jim Vargas, president and CEO of Father Joe’s Villages, said the service provider has expanded its meal service at its downtown campus to three-a-day to include breakfast, lunch and dinner to meet a growing need. Sensing that they weren’t reaching people in need further away, the nonprofit also began serving take-out meals at Father Joe’s Thrift Shop at 1457 University Ave. in Hillcrest and at 1404 Fifth Ave. in downtown San Diego.
