We've Got Your Back San Diego is a weekend nutrition program developed specifically for students in the San Diego County Unified School Districts who have been identified as homeless under the No Child Left Behind: McKinney-Vento act. The original We've Got Your Back program was created by Giving Children Hope, a non-profit 501c3 organization in Orange County CA. In 2011, the We've Got Your Back Program was brought to San Diego through a unique partnership of like-minded people at Giving Children Hope and Shepherd's Way.

There are currently over 13,000 children in San Diego County who have been identified as homeless. These children take part in free and reduced lunch programs at their schools throughout the week. For most of them, the school cafeteria is their primary source of nutrition. Unfortunately, many of them return home on Friday to a household with little to no food. This is where We've Got Your Back San Diego and the San Diego County Unified School Districts partner together to alleviate hunger among our children in San Diego County.
