SHFB acquires and distributes donated and purchased food, as well as United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) commodities, to individuals and families in need throughout Santa Cruz County, Driven by measurable impact, SHFB distributed 10.5 million pounds of food during the reported fiscal year. The organization responds rapidly to food insecurity caused by natural disasters and external disruptions, including the SNAP benefit hold in the fall. SHFB continues to strengthen its network through partnerships with 67 community-based organizations, expanding access to food and essential services. Ongoing collaborations with local farmers and fisheries further reinforce a resilient, community-centered food system while helping to keep resources circulating within the local economy. 2361745 Programs The Second Harvest Food Bank Programs Team provides a comprehensive range of services designed to support community members in improving their health and well-being. Through programs such as the Healthy Food Box Program, participants receive nutritious food along with nutrition education and weekly healthy recipes that promote long-term healthy habits. The CalFresh Outreach Team plays a critical role in supporting community members with applications for SNAP (CalFresh) and Medi-Cal, helping to increase access to essential benefits. In addition, we partner with the Pajaro Valley Unified School District and Watsonville Community Hospital to expand access to services by offering resources and operating school- and hospital-based pantry sites. These partnerships ensure that families can access nutritious food and supportive services in trusted, community-centered locations. 26575603 true true true true false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false true true false false true true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 40 0 true 61 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 16 14 false false false false true true false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X OCTAVIO RIVAS 8317227110 800 OHLONE PARKWAY WATSONVILLE CA 95076 ERICA PADILLA-CHAVEZ CEO 40.00 0.00 X 272901 0 26518 BRENDAN MIELE COO 40.00 0.00 168905 0 13814 ANGELITO TOLENTINO CFO 40.00 0.00 X 152262 0 16913 MICHELE BASSI CHIEF DVLP OFFICER 40.00 0.00 128736 0 28040 MARY CASEY CHIEF HR OFFICER 40.00 0.00 141805 0 0 ADRIANA MATA CHIEF OF PROGRAMS 40.00 0.00 116648 0 8196 DAWN BARRERAS SR.
