As a volunteer at the Mountain View Senior Center, I cannot speak highly enough about the staff!…read moreEvery single staff member cares about each person who walks through the doors! They make sure these seniors have recreation opportunities through events and daily programs such as technology classes, pickle ball, ping pong, pool, blood pressure checks, free phone checkouts, a book club, group movie events and much more. Beyond recreational opportunities, the senior center serves lunch to a large number of local seniors each and every day. The lunch is nutritious and caters strictly to the diet of older people. You would not believe the number of compliments I hear as people leave after lunch. The senior center also has 10 cent books to purchase. The staff works really hard to plan events such as dances, socials and an annual bazaar during the holidays with vendors from the community. The people who work at the Mountain View Senior Center go above and beyond on a daily basis and it shows! The Senior Center is available without membership costs, registration and is free for all people 55 and older.

This is the nicest senior center that I have ever seen. It's spacious and bright with multiple…read morerooms. The center is near the Onetta Harris Community Center which offers fitness classes, a weight room, art room, a swimming pool, and computer access for seniors. The center offers healthy lunches in the cafeteria, grocery giveaways, health screenings, a pool table, a sewing room, and other activities. I was impressed that they even have a small farmer's market and a shuttle that picks up and drops off seniors. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. Many of the regulars speak Spanish only but that's not a problem here. I think it's cute that it also attracts plenty of knitters. They get five stars for making it easier for seniors to get together with their friends (many of them don't drive), and providing services to promote senior health and well-being.

However, this is a beautiful senior center that has been here for a decade filled with memories. My grandmother use to come here to pick up her free groceries in the 90s and I had decided to volunteer to give back to my community. Bridget and Ms. Grant are just the most amazing women you can ever meet that takes care of the place. They both work so hard into providing essential needs for the locals and those who need food. Ms. Grant is in her 80s and that women is a soldier! She puts her heart into the place and will have you amazed with her stories. When I first walked into the place, I felt such a positive vibe and energy. You can tell this place has a lot of history which is priceless. This place gives out to the community ALOT. So what if theres random people coming to park here and doing what they do. It's East Palo Alto, what do you expect, it is part of the culture. They don't mean any harm. -_-

I remembered the mural on the outside. So I found out that they not only do a Food Distribution in partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank for low income families they also have a separate one for the elderly members of the community. They have days and events for Residents to apply for US Citizenship and get help with the application and even Citizenship classes. They have a large multi use room that can be use for parties or event ( of course, a fee and registration is required) The entire staff here is great, I know that for the Food Distribution they all lend a hand even when their job is to be in the office they step in and help. Thank you for all you do for our community!

Every interaction I've had with them whether donating, volunteering, or simply learning more about their programs has left me inspired and grateful that such a dedicated team is working to fight hunger right here at home. What stands out most is their professionalism and compassion. The staff and volunteers treat every client with dignity, and you can feel how deeply they care about making sure families have access to healthy, nutritious food. Their operations are incredibly organized, and the scale at which they serve the community is nothing short of impressive. I also appreciate how transparent they are about where donations go and how efficiently they use their resources. It's rare to see an organization combine heart, innovation, and operational excellence so seamlessly. If you're considering supporting a local nonprofit, volunteering your time, or looking for a meaningful way to give back, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley is an outstanding choice. They are making a real difference every single day.

I have incurable cancer. I have been through chemo and have lingering serious side effects so…read moregetting to a food pantry is hard not to mention. I don't have a car. I found Second Harvest Food Bank delivers food to the door. So I applied and they have been delivering to my door when they don't send lazy delivery drivers that leave my food outside my apartment building for everyone to get, or in the lobby or in the mail room to leave my food to rot. Even if I could go to the lobby or mail room, I can't lift my box and bring it up five floors. Not to mention, I don't get notification that the food box has even been delivered so I don't know if it's been delivered to the lobby, mail room, or left outside. I have called several times explaining I am not getting my food boxes, even though they send out another food box 5 days later, I shouldn't have to wait five extra days for food. Not to mention 7 out of 10 times I get my box it's loaded with rotten fruit and vegetables full of mold. To which by the way I am highly allergic to food mold. I have called. I have spoke to supervisors. I have spoken to several different people at Second Harvest Food Bank. They apologize. Which I appreciate, but that doesn't help me with my food. They said if you don't want to receive moldy fruit and vegetables come and pick up the box yourself. Nice I would if I could. I'm sure others with my health issues and my age would attest to the fact that we would do a lot of things if we were physically capable of doing it. So apologies fall on deaf ears because I still don't receive my food boxes when I should and like I said half the time the food is rotten full of mold. Shaking my head because I see the commercials and I see people donating to which I appreciate. I see people in their cars in line getting all this beautiful fresh fruit and vegetables not to mention holiday boxes to which I don't receive a holiday box I don't get anything to celebrate Easter, Thanksgiving no turkey, no Christmas box just beans and rice is what people who get their food delivered get along with moldy fruit and vegetables. I guess that is Second Harvest Food Bank's way of saying happy holidays. You don't get a holiday box you don't need to celebrate a holiday.
