"Bravo, Bravo! Compassionate, Professional Staff."…read more I had the good fortune of meeting a local staff member, as well as the new CEO, Aubrey Merriman, recently at a local diner. We talked for quite a while about strategy for helping the homeless people. I was especially interested to see how they worked with mentally ill situations. Aubrey explained that they have a psychiatrist who comes on site, to make it as easy as possible to get the medication for these people. I was impressed with his vision and plan for helping these poor unfortunate folks. The CEO explained that they have an excellent record for getting these people into permanent housing, such as living with their family. I'm delighted to see that we have such quality people running this organization. This is a vitally important institution. People's lives are at stake.

It is a daunting task to support staff in areas where the cost of living in the SF Bay Area is high. LifeMoves is doing what they can to house (temporarily) and find jobs along with permanent housing for those who are currently living with minimal support. It "takes a village" but when clients get permanent housing and a job, that's worth celebrating.

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.

In case you're not familiar with how Kainos works, it's a training and vocation center for adults with developmental disabilities. All of the projects are completed by the trainees, and there are additional paid staff members who supervise every project. Everyone I've worked with has been great. They make my life easier!

I love it when I feel like I've worked and done a ton when I volunteer and hate it when I'm standing around waiting for stuff to do. My friend and I got there about 10 minutes late and already saw the line of people waiting for the store to open wrapped around the building. When we walked it, things were already in full motion. We jumped right in and started breaking down ginormo bags of onions into smaller bags and then shortly after that moved on to the carrots. As we got closer to the store opening time we got recruited to man the "canned station". We were responsible for canned veggies, "special" canned goods (mostly chili really), and the peanut butter (which was rejected about 50% of the time - I guess it's a cultural thing). We helped "shoppers" with this section and it was cool to interact and help everyone. Another thing to mention is the closing process. I guess there are a group of kids like high school age that volunteer regularly there. They are machines when it comes to cleaning up! Once the store is closed everyone tidied up, swept the floor, moved garbage outside, all without being asked. Those kids were amazing. Definitely a great project - you are busy, you see the people you are helping, and you work with some awesome people.
