The Jacobs and Cushman San Diego Food Bank was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Joan Jacobs, a truly dedicated civic leader and visionary philanthropist who worked to make the world a better place. Together with her husband, Irwin, Joan’s philanthropic support spanned health and medicine, arts and culture, and technology. She also dedicated herself to serving on many community and civic boards, always with the goal of enhancing our region. She leaves a lasting legacy of compassion and support for so many nonprofits in our region. At the Jacobs and Cushman San Diego Food Bank, we were blessed to have Joan’s support for our mission to end hunger in San Diego County for more than two decades. Side-by-side, Joan and Irwin provided generous support and resources to help our organization grow and become the true regional food safety net for our County. Joan and Irwin’s belief in creating positive generational change has forever transformed us and together they have set the true north for our organization. Joan is and always will be known as a trailblazer for change, the matriarch of the generous Jacobs family and a friend to this organization. We count ourselves blessed to have been touched by her vision for our region.

Our staff at the San Diego Food Bank are doing such an amazing job that we selected not one, but two staff members to be the Employee of the Month for the month of March! 👏 Congratulations to Alison for being selected as Employee of the Month for displaying the Food Bank's core values of synergy, leadership, moxie and integrity!
