FoodSHARE

Our Food Rescue program (FoodSHARE) was created to help the many families that don’t qualify for government assistance, aren’t considered low income but yet still can use a hand up. Our two programs under this service is "Client Choice" and "Grab and Go".

FREE Food Basket

Our FREE Food Baskets are available for low-income residents of Bay Park (92110), Clairemont (92117), Linda Vista (92111), and Serra Mesa (92123). Verified participants receive about a week’s supply of fruit, vegetables, pantry items, and perishable foods in each basket.

Upcoming Events

Our special events—like DIY workshops, clothing swaps, and community skill shares—are a fun way to connect, learn, and support our food rescue efforts. Each event helps raise funds, reduce waste, and bring folks together around sustainability and mutual support.

Supporting Food Rescue & Waste Reduction with CalRecycle

Porchlight Community Services is proud to receive partial funding from CalRecycle’s Food Waste Prevention and Rescue Grant Program. This support has allowed us to expand our food rescue efforts with a refrigerated van, invest in essential processing equipment, and promote sustainable solutions to reduce food waste in our community.

​

Through this grant, we can recover more edible food, extend its shelf life, and provide nutritious options to more people. It also helps us educate the community through workshops and events, like our DIY Beeswax Wrap Workshop, where we share practical ways to minimize food waste at home.

​

CalRecycle’s Food Waste Prevention and Rescue Grant Program is part of California’s larger effort to reduce organic waste in landfills, fight climate change, and improve food access. Learn more about this initiative here.
