Hundreds of thousands of San Diegans are facing hunger, while nearly 40% of the food produced is wasted. Feeding San Diego is working to tackle both of those issues by expanding their marketplace.

NBC 7’s Audra Stafford got a look at the the new marketplace that will help San Diegans in need.

One in eight U.S. households, or 12.5%, was food insecure in 2022, according to a new report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That’s up from 10.2% in 2021 and 10.5% in 2020. Feeding San Diego’s no-cost grocery store is just one way the nonprofit is trying to help.

A $1 bill has lost a little magic when it comes to feeding the hungry in San Diego County. Feeding San Diego said they used to be able to buy four meals for $1 when it buys in bulk. However, inflation now limits the nonprofit to two meals for every dollar.
