Our Mission

Meals4Hunger is working diligently to keep the issue of hunger top of mind in San Diego County. Meals4Hunger, founded in 2008 by Dr. Sunil Bhoyrul is a 501©(3) public charity registered under The San Diego Foundation. With each established community organization and/or business partnership, Meals4Hunger moves one step closer to achieving the goal of eliminating hunger first in San Diego and then nationwide.In San Diego County there are approximately 3.1 million residents and 483,000 of them are known to live at or near the national poverty level. * (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, 2008.Compiled by SANDAG, January 2010.)

By using competitive small business practices, local communities can eradicate hunger. If consumers base their choice of products or services on the knowledge that a portion of the proceeds will be used to feed a hungry San Diegan, businesses are stimulated to compete and will attract consumers as a result of this socially responsible practice. It’s called compassionate consumerism.

Meals4Hunger’s 3-Tier Approach to Hunger Eradication:

1. Educate the community about nutrition and the disease of obesity;
2. To build partnerships with local businesses so that business owners are reinvesting in the community in which they are located;
3. To sponsor annual events providing nutritious meals for those experiencing food insecurity.
