ABOUT SECOND HARVEST
For every $1 raised, Second Harvest Food Bank provides 3 healthy meals thanks to their extensive relationships with farmers, retailers, food bank networks, and dedicated volunteers and donors. Second Harvest sources over 10 million pounds of food each year and distributes it to 150 food pantries, schools (including UCSC Slug Support, Student Union Assembly, Family Student Housing, and campus Basic Needs food pantries), soup kitchens, group homes, youth centers, and Second Harvest program sites. 1 in 3 residents are food insecure in Santa Cruz County. The food bank is actively reducing food insecurity by reaching 70,000 people each month through it’s work and from contributions from volunteers and donors.
