Local Outreach

In San Diego County, 1 in 7 adults and 1 in 5 children face food insecurity every day. Since 2011, Movement Church has partnered with the North County Food Bank to serve families through our monthly food distribution and an annual food drive. In recent years, we’ve expanded our reach from serving 100 families at the start of 2019 to blessing more than 1,000 families today, and always striving to beat our record of 10,083 pounds of food donated in one day!

In 2017, we became aware of the severe need in our own backyard. Located in the heart of our city, SME educates a large percentage of families living at or below the poverty level in San Diego. The severe financial need made it difficult for students to succeed inside and outside the classroom. Our church family jumped in to respond to these needs, working to meet real needs with real solutions. Together, we have provided uniforms, sweatshirts, grocery gift cards, household essentials, food, backpacks, and even helped beautify their school campus.
