Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties has been providing services to the community for 35 years. We are the single largest nonprofit provider of food to low-income households in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties and are the seventh largest food bank in the country. We provide food to an average of 207,000 individuals each month. Of those we serve, 67% are families with children and 12% are senior citizens.

Last year, we provided 39.1 million pounds of food to those in need through our network of 316 nonprofit agencies at 834 distribution sites. As a leader in the community, we go beyond food assistance and operate community nutrition programs and a multilingual toll free hotline where callers can learn how to access the food programs in their neighborhoods. We work with lawmakers to advocate for policy changes and strive to eliminate hunger and its root causes.
