As part of San Diego FC’s ongoing Season of Giving campaign, the Club is expanding its holiday community efforts with One City, One Table, supporting families across the region during a critical time of year. To kick off this extension of the campaign, SDFC is donating 18,000 meals – equivalent to a $9,000 contribution – to the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank. (Note: every $1 donated = 2 meals provided to local families).
The Club is rallying fans across the county to join the effort.
“The holidays are a reminder of how interconnected we are as a community,” said SDFC CEO Tom Penn. “Through One City, One Table, we’re honored to stand alongside the San Diego Food Bank and our incredible fans to ensure every family has a place at the table this season. Together, we can brighten the holidays and make a meaningful difference for the thousands of families who need it most.”
