Make a gift

Donate

Anyone who needs a healthy meal should be able to get one. Your donation can make that possible.

Stock contributions

Charitable donations of stock are exempt from the capital gains tax and are tax-deductible.

IRA distributions

You can make a tax-free gift through your individual retirement account (IRA) if you are 70 ½ years or older. Second Harvest has a new tool that allows you to make your donation in under 10 minutes.

Donor-advised funds

If you have a DAF through Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable or any other institution, you can easily recommend a grant to Second Harvest.

Volunteer

Sort or distribute food

Help your neighbors get the nutritious food they need. Volunteer at a community food distribution, or sort food at our North San Jose warehouses.

Start a virtual food drive

For individuals, schools and churches

A different way to volunteer: With our new platform, it only takes a few clicks to create and share your fundraiser.

Corporate drives

A creative way to give back to Silicon Valley’s community with your company, department or team.

Celebrate by giving back

Asking friends and family to make a donation instead of a gift for your special occasion or holiday party is a great way to make an impact.

Honor a loved one

Fundraise in loving memory of someone who has impacted your life and help provide food for neighbors in our community.
