Donations feed shelter animals and stock the shelves of Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s food pantry

SAN DIEGO, Calif., (May 1, 2026) — San Diego County Credit Union® (SDCCU®), one of Southern California’s largest locally-owned financial institutions, collected and donated 4,639 pounds of dog and cat food to help support the efforts of Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) through the third annual Full Bowls campaign. Donations were collected at all San Diego County SDCCU branch locations during the month of March and were delivered to RCHS to feed animals in their care and help stock the shelves of the organization’s food pantry.

“We are grateful for the continued success of our Full Bowls campaign,” said Teresa Campbell, SDCCU president and CEO. “We’re humbled by the generosity of everyone who contributed and are proud to support the important work Rancho Coastal Humane Society does to care for animals in need throughout our community.”

According to RCHS, more than $30,000 is spent annually to feed their shelter pets. The food donations will allow RCHS to reallocate these funds normally spent on food to veterinary care, staff education, promotion of adoptable animals and other necessary costs.
“Thanks for SDCCU’s partnership and the generosity of the community, this year’s Full Bowls campaign was a tremendous success,” said Judi Sanzo, president and CEO of Rancho Coastal Humane Society. “The outpouring of support has allowed us to expand access to pet food assistance, helping local pet families facing economic hardship.  This collaboration demonstrates what’s possible when two organizations bring neighbors together for a common cause.”

Rancho Coastal Humane Society is dedicated to saving the lives of abandoned companion animals, promoting adoption into loving homes and offering education programs and support services that inspire and strengthen the human-animal bond. For more information, visit rchumanesociety.org.
