For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me…
– Matthew 25:35
Upcoming Event
San Diego Million Meal Event
How to Participate
Since 2021, the Million Meal Event has packed more than 5 million meals for hungry families across the border and around the world. In 2026, this extraordinary event returns on June 13–14 at Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego, uniting our community to bring hope to our brothers and sisters living in poverty.
This year marks a powerful milestone. For the first time, we will pack 2 million meals in one event. One million meals will be distributed across the border and internationally, while one million meals will remain local, distributed by Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego to help feed families in need throughout our own community.
More than 5,100 volunteers will come together over two days to make this possible. Parish communities, service organizations, schools, and families are encouraged to participate as groups and help raise funds for the event. Our collective goal is to raise $600,000—and together, we can achieve it.
Sign up today and put your faith in action!
Our Impact
Meals delivery in Tijuana
Thank You to San Diego Diocese
The food packed by volunteers in the Million Meal Event in June 2023 was distributed to the poorest families in Tijuana and Zambia.
The meal packets were tangible proof that individuals, families and parishes gladly put their faith in action to ease a child’s hunger and to bring them hope.
