Hunger Heroes Meal Packing Project

  • Kearny Mesa Recreation Center 3170 Armstrong Street San Diego, California, 92111 United States (map)

Join us in packing 30,000 meals for military families at Camp Pendleton with Outshine Hunger! Due to a combination of low starting pay for junior enlisted servicemembers, inflation, and the high cost of off-post housing and child care, up to 27% of military families are food insecure. In many cases, they do not qualify for SNAP benefits.

Serving more than 175,000 families since 2005, Rotary Camp Pendleton has provided furniture, housewares, baby items, and food to military families through their Warrior Warehouse program. An ongoing recipient of Outreach Program meals, they will help distribute the meals from our December 12 event to military families on base.

All training and instructions will be provided. Adults and minors age 7+ with a parent are welcome.

Outshine Hunger, formerly Outreach Program California, was established in 2017 as the West Coast operation of The Outreach Program. Based in San Diego, they help groups throughout Southern California come together to make a positive impact on hunger and food insecurity.
