Volunteer support is crucial to provide this support to our community and we are still seeking volunteers for January! If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up through the Second Harvest Food Bank website.
Be advised: Lot C and Lot F will continue to be closed in order to host the Skyline College Free Community Market.
Every week each household or family receives almost 50 lbs of groceries, including milk, eggs, pasta, rice, fresh produce, canned goods and dry goods, as well as a protein item (ham, chicken, turkey, etc.). Second Harvest Food Bank calculates that over 2.7 million pounds of groceries have been distributed since our program started in September 2020 and that we have offset over $4.8 million in grocery costs for the most at risk members of our local community! A special thanks goes to SMCCCD employees from SparkPoint, public safety, and facilities, as well as the wonderful volunteers who make this event possible every week.
This event is held at Skyline College every Wednesday, 11:00am-1:00pm and has been extended through May 2022. All staff, volunteers and participants adhere to all COVID-19 Health and Safety Protocols at all times.
