Porchlight Community Food Basket Application

Welcome! We are so glad you’re here. At Porchlight, we’re on a mission to grow a healthier, more sustainable San Diego by rescuing food and fundraising to fill the gaps. Because 90% of our food is purchased through community donations and the rest is rescued, we are not an emergency food pantry. We provide scheduled, consistent support to help your household thrive!

Your Privacy Matters

During this application, we’ll ask about your demographics and food allergies. * Why? This data helps us win grants to buy more food and ensures we provide safe items for your family.

• Is it shared? No. This is for our internal tracking only. We never share your personal info with government agencies.
