Second Harvest Food Bank continues to host drive through community food distributions in the county, alternating between the Santa Cruz County Fair Grounds in Watsonville and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in Santa Cruz.
On Friday, July 17, the distribution will be at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the long parking lot parallel to the San Lorenzo River.
Residents of Santa Cruz County can come and receive a bag of pantry items and a bag of produce along with additional foods as available. This is plenty of food for a family. Each family receiving food must have a representative present, with appropriate identifying materials.
If you live in or near the Beach Flats community, you can walk through. Be prepared to carry up to 50lbs of food.
Dogs and other pets should stay home.
