SAN DIEGO
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to wreak havoc across San Diego’s most diverse neighborhoods, some nonprofits organizations are altering their missions to provide meals to struggling families.
Several organizations have taken on a weekly food distribution at the Joe & Vi Jacobs Center in addition to their regular operations, while others have completely pivoted to food distribution.
The nonprofit organizers who launched the effort in April imagined it would be a temporary project possibly lasting a couple months, yet the community’s need has kept the distribution running for almost a year.
And organizers don’t see it ending anytime soon.
