The UCSC Staff Advisory Board is thrilled to share with you that our UCSC community has broken our own record of generosity in this year's Second Harvest Holiday Food & Fund Drive - for the fourth year in a row!
- $34,926 donated by students, which is a 42% increase from last year
- $51,049 donated by faculty, staff, and the larger UCSC community - a 33% increase
That’s a total of $135,975. Most importantly, that represents about 407,925 meals, which means the UCSC team provided enough healthy food for 373 people to enjoy three meals per day, all year long - now that’s feeding hope! If it sounds impossible, you can visit this page to read how Second Harvest Food Bank (SHFB) can feed one person for one day with $1.
Pro Tip for next year: Start saving now so you can “Give What You Get!” Since SHFB can buy three healthy meals for $1, that makes it more possible for many of us to buy a whole year’s worth of healthy meals for another household like our own:
- One-person household: $365
- Two-person household: $730
- Three-person household: $1,095
- Four-person household: $1,460
- BONUS: Count your pets in your calculation!
Thank you for feeding hope,
SAB’s Holiday Food & Fund Drive Team
