This past winter, the homes and livelihoods of many residents of Santa Cruz and the surrounding area were affected by weather damage. To help residents of the Pajaro Valley, the Student Volunteer Center and Praxis are collaborating with the Second Harvest Food bank to operate a drive-thru food distribution center in Pajaro. Come help us assist the staff in directing cars, registering participants, and loading food into cars.
The Second Harvest Food bank is a volunteer-based organization which has been working closely with the residents of Santa Cruz since 1972. We are thrilled to be assisting them in their mission!
