Who We Serve . . . What We Do . . . How You Can Help
They are of the generations who fought our wars, paid taxes
and built this great country of ours.
They handed down a legacy of freedom & hope.
Yet today, 50,000 older Americans live in poverty
in San Diego County, with precious little left to eat by mid-month.
The Angel's Depot was founded in 2006 to help this generation of “quiet heroes” by providing a FREE emergency mid-month meal box, especially formulated for seniors who are at-risk for malnutrition and live with the anxiety of food insecurity. These 22 lb., nutritious, nonperishable contain 21 meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner for a week. The food is high in protein, fiber and foliates with moderate sugar.
In an effort to help our low-income seniors survive each month,
our Senior Case Manager details other local senior resources, health tips,
and humor in “Kalond’s Corner” a Senior Newsletter, neatly tucked into each emergency meal box. Please click here to read Kalond's March Senior Newsletter. He also provides senior advocacy,
a direct caring connection, to the seniors we serve.
The seniors we serve have an average income of $791 per month.
We engage the community in helping to solve this senior poverty and hunger crisis.
You can help . . . send a donation, volunteer your time, initiate a food drive.
Please join us in this noble effort. Remember, the action you take,
is the DIFFERENCE you make, in an older American's life.
