San Diego Food Bank to Buy Refrigerated Truck with City Contract

The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank will acquire a new refrigerated truck through a $150,000 contract with the city of San Diego, funded by CalRecycle. - The 26-foot Class B truck features a rail liftgate and is designed for transporting perishable foods like produce, dairy, and protein.

- The truck will improve food recovery from schools, stores, and manufacturers, and enhance delivery to rural and underserved areas. - The food bank serves 400,000 people monthly and distributed 52 million pounds of food last year.

This investment strengthens the food bank's emergency response capabilities, aiding recent wildfire and flood relief efforts.
