About Second Harvest Founded in 1974, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley is one of the largest food banks in the nation and a trusted nonprofit leader whose mission is to end hunger in our community. They strive to realize their mission by working to deepen their relationships with local communities to evolve a system of support that equitably meets the immediate need for food assistance while identifying opportunities to address the root causes of hunger. In partnership with about 400 local agency partners, Second Harvest currently distributes nutritious food to about 500,000 neighbors across Santa Clara and San Mateo counties each month (at no cost to their partners or clients). How They Do It Second Harvest has a diverse staff of almost 300 dedicated and passionate professionals, about 20% of whom work under a collective bargaining agreement. While all of their staff live within driving distance of San Jose, those who are able to do their work remotely have the opportunity for hybrid work arrangements. In their last fiscal year, Second Harvest distributed 125 million pounds of food (procured through a combination of donation, purchase, and rescue). Of that, 55% was fresh produce. They manage almost 260K square feet of warehouse and office space across four facilities which operate six days a week to meet the tremendous need for food assistance in the community. Most of their food is distributed to neighbors (individuals, families, seniors & students) through more than 900 monthly grocery distribution sites (their own or through partners). Second Harvest also offers limited home delivery to those unable to visit a distribution site. While they don’t serve prepared meals, Second Harvest does provide groceries (ingredients) to partner organizations that provide hot meals. They also support food pantries at after school programs, rehab centers, colleges, youth centers, etc. To further support the health and well-being of their community, Second Harvest offers neighbors a culturally diverse collection of wholesome recipes, cooking videos, nutrition education and trainings.Second Harvest also works to connect neighbors to federal nutrition programs and other food resources, and advocates for anti-hunger and anti-poverty policies on the local, state, and national levels. All this work is possible thanks to Second Harvest’s partnerships with local non-profit agencies and tremendous community support. Eighty-five percent of Second Harvest’s funding comes from private sources, with the majority (65%) coming from donations from individuals. A portion of their funding comes from corporate partners and foundations. Second Harvest also relies on volunteers from the community - last year more than 40,000 individuals donated their time to help sort, pack, and distribute food. The Community Silicon Valley is a place of innovation and opportunity, yet it is also a place of dramatic income inequality and the largest wealth gap in the nation. The incredibly high cost of living leaves 1 in 4 adults (and 1 in 3 children) at risk of food insecurity. Serving a diverse community in both urban and more rural communities, Second Harvest currently provides food to 1 in 6 residents in the area they serve.
