The Lakeside Union School District (LUSD) Board Meeting on February 15, 2025, highlighted the ongoing efforts to address food insecurity among students and families in the community. A key focus was the Lehi Heart Food Pantry, which operates twice a month at Lindo Park, providing essential food resources to those in need.

During the meeting, representatives discussed the expansion of the food program to reach more families within the district. The initiative aims to combat food insecurity, a pressing issue that affects many families across San Diego County. The program not only serves students but also extends its support to the broader community, emphasizing the importance of accessibility to nutritious food.

A campus supervisor at Lindo Park shared personal observations about the challenges some students face during lunch, underscoring the necessity of such programs. The school environment is seen as a trusted space where families can connect and receive vital resources. This initiative is part of a broader commitment by LUSD to support the well-being of its students and their families.
