Every background
We serve San Diegans of every race, culture, faith and language.
About & mission
Rooted in San Diego. Growing through community.
San Diego Helpers Foundation brings San Diegans together to share food, serve their neighborhoods and support under-resourced communities.
Our mission
What we do.
Our mission is to provide food donations, community service and practical help to under-resourced communities in San Diego.
Our vision
A San Diego where no neighbor faces it alone.
A city where help is close, easy to ask for and freely given.
Our values
Three promises to our neighbors.
Dignity and privacy
Asking for help is never shameful. Requests stay private.
Honest stewardship
We say only what is true, and we account for every dollar.
How we handle donations
Our commitments to Helpers.
Mission first
Donations are spent only on our programs and the necessary costs of running the organization, such as filing fees. Never for anyone's personal benefit.
A receipt for every expense
Every expense needs approval and a receipt, and we keep clear records.
Your wishes honored
If you give for a specific program, your donation is used for that program.
Our status, plainly
San Diego Helpers Foundation is a California nonprofit corporation, seeking 501(c)(3) recognition; donations are not currently confirmed tax-deductible.
Where we are today
Just getting started.
San Diego Helpers Foundation was incorporated in California in October 2026. We are run by San Diego volunteers and are planning our first food drive now.
We will share real photos and results from our own events once they happen. Until then, the photos on this site are licensed stock images, and none of the people pictured are part of our organization.
Become a Helper.
Monthly donations let us plan ahead. One-time donations help too. Every dollar goes to our mission and necessary admin costs, with a receipt for every expense.
