SAN DIEGO (CNS) — The seventh annual Pack the Pantry virtual food drive is under way through the end of October to support food pantries on community college campuses across San Diego and Imperial counties. Donations can be made until Oct. 31 at https://www.calcoastcu.org/packthepantry and donors have the option of choosing which college food pantry to support. "Many of our community college students balance multiple life priorities--they're parents, employees, and caregivers, juggling work, family, and school as they strive for a better future," Southwestern College Superintendent/President Dr. Mark Sanchez said. "The San Diego Food Bank believes that access to nutritious food is a fundamental right--not a privilege," San Diego Food Bank CEO Casey Castillo said. The San Diego Food Bank is donating their services to deliver food to participating community colleges at the end of the fundraiser, ensuring every contribution reaches students in need.
