Holiday Food Drive

with Second Harvest Food Bank
​
until end of December 2016

In an effort to alleviate the problem of hunger in our area, our Center is holding a food drive during the holiday season to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank.  Canned and other pre-packaged foods can be placed in the barrels located in our Center during open hours.

Did you know that

• 1 in 3 kids in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties do not have enough food to eat every single day
• 1 in 10 people in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties rely on food from Second Harvest Food Bank every single month
• Second Harvest Food Bank provides the equivalent of 1 million meals every week of the year

The Food Bank accepts all non-perishable food donations, but especially needs these nutritious items:

• Meals in a can (soup, stew, chili)
• Tuna or canned chicken
• Peanut butter
• Canned foods with pop-top lids
• Canned fruit in its own juice or water
• Low-sodium canned vegetables
• Olive or canola oil
• Spices
• Low-sugar whole grain cereals
• Healthy snacks (granola bars, nuts, dried fruit)

Please avoid items packed in glass. No candy or soda please.

Thank you in advance for your generosity!
