 25, 2021 — Second Harvest Food Bank Santa of Cruz County today announced

 to partner agencies in Santa Cruz County. \n\nSecond Harvest is looking for 
 hunger heroes to attend our kick-off. Rally for Hope co-chairs, Carlos 
 Palacios, Santa Cruz County administrative officer and Cynthia Larive, UC 
 Santa Cruz chancellor, will help people become inspired and motivated with 
 an old-fashioned outdoor rally! Hear from guest speakers, learn and share 
 fundraising ideas, mix with other hunger heroes, have fun and help Feed

 insecurity compared with other communities,” explains Richelle Noroyan, 
 corporate and community relations director for Second Harvest. “The high 
 cost of living, for a significant percentage of people living and working 
 in our county, means we have a bigger food gap than elsewhere. Local 
 support for our food bank is crucial because our neighbors rely on our 
 services 50 percent more than elsewhere. Additionally, the pandemic's 
 economic effects have not passed for many of us. We're still seeing food 
 demand well above pre-pandemic levels.” she adds.\n\nAbout Second 
 Harvest\nFounded in 1972, Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County was 
 the first food bank in California and the second in the nation. Its mission 
 is for Santa Cruz County to be a community working together ending hunger 
 through healthy food, education and leadership. Every month Second 
 Harvest’s network of partner agencies and nutrition programs feeds 75,000
