Support GYBSD with a Fundraiser!
Help Us Raise Much Needed Funds!
Supporting a nonprofit is a lot like feeding people — it takes consistent nourishment to keep the mission strong. Just as children depend on the food we provide, Got Your Back San Diego relies on the generosity of individuals, groups, and businesses to ensure we can continue fighting childhood hunger across our community.
Fundraisers are a powerful way to raise the money needed to provide weekend meals to local children, and the great news is: anyone can host one.

Why Fundraisers Matter
Financial support is essential to keeping our shelves stocked, our warehouse operating, and our weekend bags filled with nutritious food. Every dollar raised helps us reach more students and ensures no child goes hungry when school cafeterias close for the weekend.
Whether you're planning a small neighborhood effort or a large community event, your fundraiser makes a direct difference in a child’s life.
