Spring Valley sits inside one of the best-served food assistance regions in the country: San Diego County has two major Feeding America food banks — the San Diego Food Bank and Feeding San Diego — and both run distributions in and around the 91977 area. Locally, Spring Valley Community Church on Bancroft Drive and the Santa Sophia St. Vincent de Paul conference on San Juan Street handle neighborhood-level distribution.
Neighborhood Distributions on Bancroft Drive
The Bancroft Drive corridor is Spring Valley's food-assistance hub: Spring Valley Community Church at 3310 Bancroft — (619) 342-1414 — runs its own distribution, and community listings note a monthly distribution nearby on the 4th Tuesday starting at 9 a.m. that runs until food is gone, so arriving early matters. A short drive up the hill, the Santa Sophia St. Vincent de Paul conference at 9800 San Juan St — (619) 463-6629 — serves the Casa de Oro side of Spring Valley.
Two County Food Banks, Two Finder Maps
The San Diego Food Bank's Food Locator Map and hotline — 1-866-350-3663, weekdays 8 to 5 — cover hundreds of distribution sites countywide. Feeding San Diego runs its own no-cost grocery distributions open to everyone, with a Find Food map, and offers free CalFresh application help at (858) 863-6635. Between the two networks, most weeks there's a free distribution within a few miles of Spring Valley.
