About Us
+BOX is on a mission to open pathways to healthy, local, sustainable foods.
​
Established in April 2020, +BOX was created in response to rising food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic. +BOX officially launched at Ocean Knoll Elementary in Encinitas, CA, supporting 50 families with fresh, healthy, nutrient rich food. Since then +BOX has grown to support hundreds of families each week across more than a dozen school communities in San Diego. +BOX was created by cross-industry entrepreneurs with a bias towards building an innovative program capable of driving healthy change in the food support system.
Our Vision
Collaborate with local communities to build a healthier food assistance system that provides every child the opportunity to open a box of fresh, nutritious food.
