This is normally a difficult time of the year for the Santa Cruz County Food Bank, but cuts made to federal aid has made meeting the needs of people in our community even more difficult.  If you are able, please bring canned or dry goods to the Wisdom Center & we will deliver them to the Food Bank!

Monetary donations can be offered directly:

We recognize that the land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.
