Funds raised from the golf tournament will provide more than 700,000 meals to individuals and families in need in North County through our distribution center.

Next year’s Drive Out Hunger Golf Classic will be held on Monday, July 22, 2019, and the Food Bank is advising golfers to register early as the event will sell out once again.

The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank assumed control of the North County Food Bank in 2015. The North County Food Bank operates from a 5,000-square-foot facility in San Marcos, and the nonprofit serves thousands of families in need every week in communities throughout the North County region.
