The streets of downtown Santa Cruz were filled with pride, joy, and community as Second Harvest joined the Santa Cruz Pride Parade today. 🌈

Walking alongside dedicated volunteers, staff, CEO Erica Padilla-Chavez, and Assemblymember Gail Pellerin, we celebrated the diverse community we serve while raising awareness about food insecurity.

Take a look at some of our favorite moments from the parade as we walked, connected, and celebrated with our Santa Cruz County neighbors. ✨

Meet Anika, our new Gleaning Program Coordinator! 🍓

Join Anika at WYSIWYG Farms, where our program first began, as she shares how gleaning helps recover fresh, nutritious produce and get it to neighbors facing food insecurity.

By rescuing surplus fruits and vegetables from local farms, gleaning reduces food waste and helps provide fresh food to those who need it most.

💡 Join the Glean Team!
Volunteer every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 9 AM–12 PM and help make a direct impact.

Check out our Gleaning volunteers in action! 🥬

Our amazing Glean Team spent the morning harvesting fresh produce that will help nourish neighbors throughout Santa Cruz County. As a bonus, volunteers also got to take home some fresh produce themselves!

Looking for a fun, hands-on way to give back? Join us every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 9 AM–12 PM.

Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County is working together with other community-based organizations to help keep you healthy and nourished. We know there have been many recent changes and conversations around SNAP/CalFresh, and many families may be unsure about what support is still available.

When our community comes together, incredible things happen. 💚

Thanks to the amazing generosity shown during the KSBW Feeding Families on the Central Coast Telethon, our neighbors will have access to healthy meals, hope, and support when they need it most.

Every phone call made and every online donation received will make a meaningful impact across our community. We also want to give a heartfelt thank you to Clarion Pacific Insurance for their generous $30,000 donation, helping provide 90,000 meals to local families!

To our donors, community partners, staff, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this event possible: thank you. Your compassion and commitment help us nourish families today and build a stronger tomorrow.

Every donation, every volunteer hour, and every act of kindness brings us closer to a hunger-free community. 🍎
