Dancing for Frozen Turkey Donations

During the holiday season, local pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters depend on us for food so that their clients can have a traditional holiday meal. We're still short of our goal of 19,000 frozen turkeys. We hope our second Drake-inspired video featuring Dancing Turkey and Poppin' Corn will inspire you to donate a turkey today. Our Facebook community loved it!

Too Blessed to Be Stressed

Suffering a major back injury while on the job, Stan struggled to make ends meet while working numerous odd jobs and raising his children. After getting much needed help from the Food Bank he chose to volunteer to help others.

Donate Healthy Foods

To many of our supporters, the holidays are synonymous with food donations. Are you curious about what types of donations help the most and what kinds of food are less beneficial? Community Nutrition Educator Alex Navarro tackles these questions in our latest Nutrition Newbie blog.

An Influencer's Good Deeds

Patricia Ordoñez is a promotor de Second Harvest, a Spanish-speaking volunteer that gets the word out about the Food Bank's many services. A trusted voice in her community, she loves using her influence to connect food to our neighbors in need.

Special Events and Promotions

From shopping incentives to purchasing a special compilation CD to a local library program, there are many different ways to support the Food Bank during the holidays. We've compiled a list of options that we continually update as new opportunities arise.

Golfing for Good

We often hear about the creative ways that food drive coordinators encourage donations. Andrew Smith at Chegg, a company specializing in online textbook rentals, got his co-workers to participate in his company's food drive by creating a golf course made with donated food items.

Social Media Roundup

We got lots of media coverage last month, including an article about why Silicon Valley loves us and another on the logistics behind our large-scale fresh produce distribution. There's other fun stuff that you should read about too, like Cisco's fast-paced Executive Sort.
