Holiday Food & Fund Drive – Awards Dinner
Once again, our amazing community came together for our annual Holiday Food & Fund Drive, raising millions of meals for our neighbors experiencing food insecurity. Whether it is the people needing temporary assistance or the people providing the means to supply that assistance – everything we do depends on the cooperation and support of our community.
Together, we met our community’s challenges and together we provide solutions for those facing food insecurity. Together, we are the Food Bank.
Please join us for for an evening of celebration and good company, as we thank you, our community, for your amazing work and generosity. Thank you!

Fondo Lee-Lipton para fórmulas infantiles – L.I.F.E.
No Baby Should Go Hungry
You’re invited to join us in making sure that there is enough infant formula available for all babies in our community. One out of four children in Santa Cruz County are food insecure. Many parents do not have the resources to purchase the formula needed for their infants. The Lipton Infant Formula Endowment, ‘LIFE,’ will positively impact families who struggle to provide nourishment to their new babies.
Su donación se utilizará para abastecer los estantes de nuestra nueva cooperativa del Centro de Bienestar y Participación Familiar con leche de fórmula infantil de calidad, en colaboración con el Distrito Escolar del Valle de Pájaro, Salud Para La Gente, Healthy Start, la Junta de Acción Comunitaria (CAB) y Prevención y Asistencia Estudiantil del Valle de Pájaro (PVPSA).
El fondo L.I.F.E. compra leche de fórmula para bebés para quienes la necesitan. Esa leche se distribuye a través de la red de Second Harvest, que cuenta con 29 agencias asociadas y atiende a 4600 bebés al mes. Nos aseguraremos de que estos fondos se utilicen exclusivamente para la compra de leche de fórmula para bebés para nuestros vecinos necesitados del condado de Santa Cruz.
