welcome!

we serve the San Diego community with healthy food, sustainability education, financial literacy, and more

Porchlight Community has been serving San Diego with dignity since 2016

We are a grassroots community of volunteers who rescue food and re-distribute it to our neighbors. It started in 2016 by a single parent with the support of her like-minded neighbors to help provide a dignified experience so that others can get the help they deserve.
From our humble beginnings of porches and driveways to our small Kearny-Mesa office, our dual food rescue and food pantry program offers a market-style shopping experience and emergency food baskets.
