In their own words

Amidst rising costs due to inflation, changes to government programs, and the already crushing cost of living in our region, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley is working hard to ensure the roughly 1 in 6 who rely on us in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties has consistent access to fresh, nutritious and culturally significant food free of cost. Thanks to the generous support from the Albertsons Companies Foundation/Safeway Foundation, Second Harvest can continue to provide this much-needed food assistance to low-income children and families in Silicon Valley.

What the program does

This generous grant will support our efforts to respond to the high level of need within our community and ensure anyone facing food insecurity has reliable access to fresh, nutritious and culturally significant food free of cost in collaboration with roughly 350 community organizations to distribute food at more than 650 locations. Additionally this grant will support our CalFresh pre-screening and application assistance services to help eligible clients purchase the healthy foods that best fit the nutritional needs of themselves and their families.
