ASCENDTIALS Monthly FOOD Distribution FAIR

Each month, we prepare and distribute fresh food bundles filled with seasonal vegetables, fruits, and pantry staples. Expect items like mushrooms, kale, collard greens, and even sugar cane—grown and harvested with care by local San Diego farmers.

Our goal is to make sure every family has access to healthy, high-quality food. From avocados and oranges to tomatoes and lemons, these bundles represent the best of what San Diego agriculture has to offer.
