SAN DIEGO — More than 100,000 children in San Diego County struggle to get enough food, and it's even harder for military families, according to nonprofit Feeding San Diego .The nonprofit's school pantry program is one of many ways it's working to combat food insecurity in our communities. Hancock Elementary is one of the 40 schools participating in the program, and thousands of pounds of food have been distributed since it began operating.
It's a situation Reanna Van Dyke knows all too well, with her husband stationed at a naval base in Texas while groceries get more expensive here at home. 'There’s still the same difficulties of going to work. But as a service member, you leave for months on end, days on end, years on end. You never know. So when we leave, and we don’t have enough resources, it’s difficult,' says Van Dyke.
