Description

Join Second Harvest of the Greater Valley as we work towards equitable food access for all. Empty Bowls will be a morning you won’t soon forget as we invite you to help our neighbors gain "Access" to fresh food in our fight against hunger. Our one-of-a-kind event will include brunch, prepared by BESITOS Fine Cuisine, and a firsthand look at our latest effort to provide access to fresh food to our neighbors in need by enhancing our operational capabilities with the purchase of two electric forklifts.

By investing in the purchase of forklifts, we will unlock an estimated $150,000 over the next five years, by freeing up what we would spend on a monthly payment. These funds will be redirected towards purchasing and distributing nutritionally rich, culturally appropriate food. This means hundreds of thousands of meals enriched with fresh produce and essential nutrients, aimed specifically at those most vulnerable among us.

This initiative represents a pivot towards greater efficiency and effectiveness in our mission. We invite you to join us at the forefront of this transformative journey. Your support will not just be felt today but will resonate throughout the community for years to come.
