Fresh Produce, Big Smiles & Community Connection!

On Tuesday, Second Harvest of the Greater Valley was grateful to participate in the Kaiser Permanente Older Adults Resource Fair in Stockton!

Our Development Coordinator, Jenny Robles and Programs Coordinator, Mia Chavez,
had the pleasure of connecting with participants and handing out bags of fresh produce.

It was a wonderful turnout, and the smiles said it all!
We were touched by how thankful everyone was to receive their fresh produce and loved having the opportunity to connect with older adults in our community.

At Second Harvest of the Greater Valley, showing up for our neighbors means more than providing food,
it means building relationships, sharing resources, and making sure our community knows we are here for them 🧡💚

A big thank you to Kaiser Permanente for bringing together organizations and resources that support older adults throughout our community.
We’re proud to be part of it!
