Second Harvest's mission is to end hunger in our community.
About us
Founded in 1974, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley is one of the largest food banks in the nation and a trusted nonprofit leader in ending local hunger. The organization distributes nutritious groceries through a network of nearly 400 partners at drive-thru and walk-up sites across Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. Due to the prohibitively expensive cost of living in Silicon Valley, the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the rise in inflation, Second Harvest is now serving an average of about 500,000 people every month. Second Harvest also connects people to federal nutrition programs and other food resources, and advocates for anti-hunger policies on the local, state and national levels.

🌳 Gathered under the redwoods of Saratoga Springs, our incredible team came together for our annual all-staff appreciation event. This year was extra special as we honored 50 years of nourishing our community. We enjoyed an engaging scavenger hunt, photo booth, hoodie giveaway and good food. We are so grateful for our amazing staff and the meaningful impact we continue to make together! #FeedingSiliconValley #50YearsOfNourishment 🍊 🧡

Our MVP team (Marketing, Volunteer Engagement, and Philanthropy) gathered for a brunch at the beautiful Municipal Rose Garden in San Jose to celebrate their achievements throughout FY24—and we couldn't forget the generous support of Taylor Swift, who helped us shake it off and kickstart the fiscal year with her donation during the Eras tour last July. 🎤💫 Even in the heart of Silicon Valley—known for innovation and abundance—we're serving nearly 500,000 people every single month. The need remains great, but thanks to our MVPs, we’re meeting this challenge head-on with strength, compassion, and unity. We’re proud of this team for leading the way in nourishing our neighbors and fueling hope for a brighter, more secure tomorrow. Together, we can make hunger a thing of the past—because we’re never going out of style when it comes to making a difference. 🧡 #FeedingSiliconValley
