San Diego Hunger Coalition in downtown San Diego's East Village is a food-policy nonprofit operating from 845 15th Street, leading collaborative action to end hunger across San Diego County through four core initiatives: Hunger Free San Diego, Hunger Free Kids, Hunger Free with CalFresh, and the Hunger Advocacy Network. Its CalFresh Outreach Program, launched in 2005, trains and supports more than 50 community-based organizations that assist low-income families with SNAP applications, a countywide enrollment effort that increased CalFresh participation from 29 percent of eligible residents to over 65 percent — work that feeds into the emergency food-distribution pipeline at Third Avenue Charitable. SDHC operates under EIN 30-0507718 and collaborates with more than 500 community partners including the California Association of Food Banks, the Childhood Obesity Initiative, and the California Hunger Action Coalition, where it serves on the statewide steering committee. Its Hunger Free Kids program connected 45 million meals to low-income children through expanded school-meal participation, and its college-student outreach has built CalFresh enrollment partnerships with San Diego State University and San Diego City College — parallel work to the meal-delivery infrastructure that Serving Seniors maintains for older adults in the same downtown corridors. The coalition's most complex policy engagements are multi-bill state legislative campaigns — including Food4All to extend CalFresh eligibility to immigrants excluded by federal status rules — that require simultaneous coordination with county health agencies, school districts, food banks, and elected officials across California.
