Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 24th Annual Chefs Dinner! 🍽️

Our community showed up in a big way to raise funds to feed children across Santa Cruz County, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

To our incredible chefs, thank you for the artistry and heart you poured into every plate. To our wineries, thank you for pouring generosity into every glass. To our sponsors, your support makes this night possible. And to our volunteers, thank you for the time, energy, and joy you bring to everything we do.

When our community shows up, we make things happen. We are so thankful for each and every one of you, and for the Santa Cruz community we are lucky to call home. ♥️

Your backyard produce makes a difference! 🌳🍎

Do you have a fruit tree in your backyard with more produce than you can use? Through the Backyard Bounty program, we connect Santa Cruz County residents with volunteers and staff who can harvest surplus fruit and help get it to neighbors who need it.

By sharing your backyard bounty, you can:

- Reduce food waste and environmental impact
- Strengthen community connections
- Leave the harvesting, packing, and transportation to our Glean Team
- Help nourish our neighbors

Curious whether your backyard bounty could contribute?
