Fuel For Summer

Feeding San Diego is making sure children don’t have to go hungry with its Fuel for Summer program.

Community members — doubled by a donation match by the Ford Motor Company Fund on gifts up to $25,000 — raised thousands and thousands of dollars on Friday’s Day of Giving hosted by NBC 7 and Telemundo 20, reports NBC 7’s Lauren Coronado.

NBC 7 & Telemundo 20 are teaming up with Feeding San Diego to help feed children and families facing hunger through the “Fuel For Summer” campaign now through June 12.

Feeding San Diego’s Fuel for Summer campaign aims to feed children during the summer, a time when it can be especially difficult for food insecure households to have access to meals.
