All year long our community makes the mission of Feeding San Diego possible. But the holiday season is always a special time as a Month of a Million Meals telethon took place at the Feeding San Diego warehouse. Because of the generosity of donors and matching gifts, the telethon alone will help provide nearly 850,000 meals for San Diegans facing hunger. Every dollar raised goes right back into the San Diego community to help rescue food and provide healthy meals for families in need. The phones were answered by local celebrities, making for an extra special touch.

Among the attendees were Lindsey Pena, Tara Monsod, Robert Kamensky, Claudia Sandoval, Alison Glader, who helped make the event even more meaningful through their support and participation.
