Affordable Groceries in San Diego for Allergy-Friendly, Sustainable Food Access Looking for affordable groceries in San Diego while supporting your community and reducing food waste? Our food rescue market pantry lets you choose from rescued and purchased staple foods, often enough for about a week of groceries, plus some options for folks with food allergies or dietary restrictions. Your $40 program commitment reserves a 30-minute shopping appointment at our market. Food availability changes weekly, and items are not guaranteed. This commitment is not a retail purchase; it covers the costs of sourcing, purchasing, transporting, and distributing food, and helps fund free programs for schools, seniors in mobile home communities, and local mutual aid groups. Appointment Policy: Attendance is firm. Once your appointment is scheduled, it cannot be rescheduled, credited, or refunded. If you cannot attend, the food is donated to others. You may send a proxy or switch to pickup-only, but otherwise, please ensure you can attend before booking. Total with processing fee: $41.46. All funds directly support affordable, allergy-friendly access to food and food rescue efforts in San Diego.

No Refunds Policy- We do not offer refunds, credits, or carry-forwards. Funds collected are used to purchase the surplus food we distribute and support food rescue operations. Once spent, the money cannot be returned. Your appointment reserves a spot. If you do not attend, someone else misses the opportunity to save, and it creates extra work for our volunteers. Our space is small, and all food must be cleared out at the end of each event. Please do not ask us to accommodate missed appointments. You may send a proxy or switch to pickup-only. Make sure you can attend before booking.
