Tonight, not showing up is exactly the point. ๐
By skipping the gala and making a gift instead, you're making a direct impact for local families like Taylor's. Taylor is a hardworking mother of three young boys. Even with a full-time job, keeping food on the table isn't always easy. Rising costs have made it harder to stretch every paycheck, and the food she receives helps fill the gaps so her family can thrive.
Your UnGala participation means more than missing a party. It means helping parents like Taylor provide healthy meals for their children and easing the impossible choices too many families face.

๐ As inflation continues to strain household budgets, many families are struggling to make ends meet. For children who rely on school meal programs, summer often means fewer meals and greater uncertainty.
40% of households in Santa Barbara County cannot afford their basic needs, including 64% of households with young children.
With UnGala, 100% of the focus is on impact, not an event. Your support helps nourish neighbors and strengthen our community when the need is greatest. ๐ Through the Foodbank, we remain committed to providing nutritious food and resources to children, families, individuals, and older adults throughout our community.

When families have dependable access to fresh, nutritious food, they can begin to learn, plan, and cook in ways that support long-term health. Last year, Foodbank programs distributed more than 2.5 million pounds of food to local families. ๐โจ
This June 14th, you can make an impact without attending another Gala. By supporting UnGala, you can help strengthen our community and provide hope for families facing food insecurity across Santa Barbara County.
