Visit the Cypress Center, one of our four facilities helping us serve an average of 500,000 people each month. Returning to in-person volunteering? Learn more about our volunteer experience with a tour! We are excited to welcome back corporate volunteer groups! COVID drastically changed our operations, and we want to invite you to take a behind-the-scenes tour to see what's new and what the volunteers will experience when they come to volunteer. Founded in 1974, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley is a trusted leader in ending local hunger and is one of the largest food banks in the nation. The organization distributes healthy groceries through a network of 310 partners at 1,000 sites in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. Due to the prohibitively expensive cost of living in Silicon Valley, hunger is at an all-time high as more and more families are forced to sacrifice nutritious food for housing. Second Harvest is helping to keep people healthy by providing enough nutritious food for more than 58 million meals a year — half of which is fresh produce. 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.
