San Diego Food Bank ID Card
New Process for Market Participation
The San Diego Food Bank has initiated a new distribution process in which participants
can receive a Food Bank ID card. In order to receive the ID card, an Food Bank ID intake form will need to be completed. This card can be used at all future food distributions
and throughout San Diego County including all campuses within the San Diego Community
College District.
You are welcome to bring the application prefilled or complete a printed copy on the
day of the food distribution, as a wet signature is required. We will do our best
to provide an ID card by the next food distribution.
Sample ID Card:
Please note: if you have received a Food Bank ID card from another agency within San Diego County, you will not need to complete another intake form. As mentioned, the ID card can be used at all food distribution.
