Your Spare Change Creates Lasting Change

Second Harvest Food Bank currently provides emergency food, nutrition education, and other services to 60,000 people in Santa Cruz County each month. In a county with a population of 250,000 people, this is a significant task.

When you stay as a guest in a Santa Cruz County hotel, you can make a difference in the lives of the people who serve you by leaving your spare change in the envelope provided. Just 20 cents can help to feed a child. Thanks to donors like you, Second Harvest is able to use 95 cents of every dollar given to distribute healthy food.

Thank you for your help!
