WHAT:
Following the passing of Proposition 67 in 2016, Jimbo’s is required by California State law to impose a charge of 10 cents on each paper bag they provide to customers. As a result of COVID-19, reusable bags are prohibited for the safety of staff members and customers. Effective April 25, the fee for bags has been lifted for the next 60-days. Since, the majority of Jimbo’s customers use reusable bags, the funds collected during April 6-24 are much higher than usual for that time period.

Jimbo’s is donating all 10 cent paper bag fees collected April 6-24 to the Jewish Family Service’s Hand Up Food Pantry. They will be able to use these much needed funds to support the many San Diegans who rely on their food pantry every week, especially during this time.

WHERE:  Jewish Family Service, 8804 Balboa Avenue, San Diego 92123
