Thank you for feeding hope!

Join Holiday Food & Fund Drive Co-Chairs Susan True, CEO at Community Foundation Santa Cruz County and Dr. Faris Sabbah, County Superintendent of Schools as we come together to make sure everyone in Santa Cruz County has access to healthy food! This year’s goal is:

4,500,000 Meals!

Help Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County continue to fill the gap and feed hope by providing healthy food throughout current challenges and beyond.

100% of the funds raised during Holiday Food & Fund Drive goes to providing food to distribute at our 130 partner agency and program locations.

Second Harvest Food Bank has the ability to provide 3 healthy meals for $1.

We hope you can be a part of the action this year. Be a Hunger Hero and join us!
