Social imbalances are more acute than ever, and there are many who need help to provide for themselves and their families, to have enough food, and to access other essential resources. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, one in five families in San Diego County were food insecure. Now, one in three are facing food insecurity, and California is expected to experience the largest increase in the number of food insecure individuals in the country. Existing public and community support services often lack sufficient capacity to address these overwhelming needs. In fact, the San Diego Hunger Coalition estimates a monthly meal gap of almost eight million meals, after accounting for existing food assistance programs.
How We Help
+BOX fights food insecurity by working alongside school districts to add to school nutrition programs with boxes of nutrient rich foods for students and their families. +BOX increases the capacity of public and community support programs and maximizes impact by meeting children and their families where they are, which oftentimes means at school. Each +BOX includes enough food for four servings and is provided weekly by leveraging existing school meal distribution systems.
Essential Nutrition
+BOX is laser focused on providing fresh, healthy, nutrient rich foods. While food banks and food pantries play a critical role in addressing food insecurity, families who typically rely on food banks and food pantries often lack adequate access to fresh fruits, vegetables, and other essential nutrients. +BOX carefully curates every box to ensures that the families we support have consistent access to healthy food.
Community Collaborations
There are multiple barriers that prevent food insecure individuals from accessing food assistance programs, including lack of awareness, excessive administrative burdens, limiting eligibility requirements, and inability to physically access services. +BOX reduces those barriers by working alongside community partners to leverage existing systems that drive awareness, eligibility, and access.
Underserved Students
+BOX fills a gap left vacant by existing school-based food assistance programs in North County San Diego by targeting school partners in six North County school districts that represent more than 50,000 students, of which 73% qualify for free or reduced price lunch and are typically underserved by existing food assistance programs.
"Our experience during the pandemic made clear the significant void of adequate food resources for food insecure families in Carlsbad. +BOX adds necessary and valuable food resources to our community."
Carissa Iwamoto, Director of Purchasing & Nutrition Services, Carlsbad Unified School District
