Become a Volunteer!
Without the help of volunteers, many families in Santa Cruz and San Benito Counties would go hungry. Volunteers make a real difference in the lives of so many-and they have fun doing it! Last year over 3,200 volunteers contributed a combined total of 43,000 hours of service-equivalent to 20 full-time employees.
