Thank you to the 2024 For the Kids Council for their investment of $100,000 or more

Despite the wealth in our area, a cost-of-living crisis is leaving many families unable to pay rent and still put food on the table. Second Harvest is here to ensure our neighbors have the nutritious food they need. We are serving an average of half a million neighbors every month — and nearly 140,000 are children.

Your support helps provide the nutritious food our children need to learn, grow and develop, providing nourishment today and contributing to a brighter future tomorrow.

Second Harvest will use your donation in the most effective and efficient way possible:

  • – 95% of contributions go to client programs, which help ensure kids in Silicon Valley have access to nutritious, wholesome food all year.
  • – For the 16th year in a row, Second Harvest has received Charity Navigator’s 4-star (highest) rating, achieving a perfect score of 100 for impact and results and accountability and finances.
  • – Your generosity to Second Harvest also supports the entire food assistance system in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. That’s because we supply free food to almost every nonprofit in the area that provides groceries and meals to neighbors.

As we commemorate Second Harvest’s 50-year anniversary of serving the Silicon Valley community, thank you for being by our side as a trusted partner. We were founded by the community, for the community, and each of us has a role in making Santa Clara and San Mateo counties livable for all of us today. We are grateful that you are part of Second Harvest’s legacy – thank you for helping build a hunger-free future for Silicon Valley.

For the Kids Council Members

We can’t do this alone, but we can do it with your help. The 2024 For the Kids Council will be matching all eligible gifts from March 1 to May 31, 2024, doubling the impact of every dollar donated. For the Kids Council members will be noted in the Annual Report.
