Santa Cruz — Second Harvest Food Bank will host another drive-through community food distribution on Friday, May 8th at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in Santa Cruz. The distribution will be between the hours of 9 am – 1 pm 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. This is plenty of food for a family, so we ask that if you have attended one of Second Harvest’s previous food distributions in this same week please allow those who still need food to get their share.
The drive-through distribution begins at 9 am, we ask community members to not arrive before 9 am so we can get fully set up. The distribution will end at 1 pm. Each family receiving food must have a representative present, with appropriate identifying materials.
Time: 9am – 1pm
Location: Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk
Who: Residents of Santa Cruz County
Requirements: Resident of Santa Cruz County, ID or some type of proof of residency, representative of each family must attend
We ask to please not bring dogs or other pets to the drive-through if possible.
