Help Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County continue to fill the gap and feed hope by providing healthy food during current challenges and beyond.100% of the funds raised during Holiday Food & Fund Drive goes to providing food to distribute at our partner agency locations. Second Harvest Food Bank has the ability to provide FOUR healthy meals for $1. As part of Feeding America, we have wholesale buying power. We can purchase truck loads of peanut butter at wholesale, apples for 8¢ a pound, celery at 12¢ a pound, etc.
We distribute food through our partner agencies and our programs throughout Santa Cruz County. Since March 2020, Second Harvest has doubled the amount of food we are distributing. Our food distribution grew from 650,000 pounds per month to 1.2 million pounds per month. On average, the number of Santa Cruz residents receiving food rose from 55,000 to over 100,000.
