“The food bank recognizes that this is a very real crisis for many hardworking families in our community and we want to do what we can to help them out in this time of need,” said Suzanne Willis, Second Harvest’s Development and Marketing Officer. “The cost of living is so high in this area that if you aren’t bringing in a paycheck, your basic needs can become compromised very quickly.”
It is advised to call Second Harvest’s Community Food Hotline to verify distribution dates and times, as schedules can be subject to change.
Second Harvest Food Bank Community Food Hotline: (831) 662-0991
Monday-Friday from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm.
Friendly food bank staff will answer Hot Line callers’ questions in English or in Spanish, and direct them to the nearest food distribution site depending upon the callers’ locations.
There are two different Second Harvest programs that provide food at the distribution sights:
- “Food For Children” (FFC) sites offer pre-packed bags of fruits, vegetables and dry food.
- “Passion For Produce” (PFP) is set up like a farmer’s market, where clients bring their own bags and choose their own fruits and vegetables.
All food is free of charge.
It is recommended to bring strong bags or a rolling basket to assist with carrying food items.
