Help Feed Local Families During the Government Shutdown

The ongoing government shutdown is disrupting the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), leaving many children and families without reliable access to food. To support our neighbors and help fill the gap, the Pacific Southwest Association of REALTORS® (PSAR) is hosting a food drive to benefit programs like the San Diego Food Bank’s Food 4 Kids Backpack Program. This program provides weekend meals for children who depend on school meal programs for daily nutrition.

PSAR is collecting non-perishable food items that will be delivered directly to the San Diego Food Bank. Donations can be dropped off between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on business days at any PSAR Service Center.

Drop-Off Locations

What To Bring

• Canned meats, soups, and beans
• Peanut butter and jelly
• Pasta and rice
• Cereal and oatmeal
• Granola bars and other shelf-stable snacks
• Shelf-stable milk and juice boxes

Collection will continue until SNAP services are restored and fully funded again.

Why REALTORS® Are Involved

REALTORS® help families find homes and are committed to strengthening the communities they serve. Ensuring that children have enough to eat is a simple and impactful way to support local families during a difficult time.
