SUPPORT THESE LOCAL NON PROFITS

---

The local economy has sent the cost of housing soaring for decades now, leaving many  families and seniors with little left over for food. It’s what we call  the Silicon Valley hunger paradox — as the economy grows, so does the  number of people who need food. Even those we depend on to make our  community run can’t afford to pay for housing and put nutritious food on  the table — cooks, cashiers, health care workers and teachers. 

 A record number of kids, families and seniors rely on non profits such as Second Harvest for food every month, and the number is growing. It’s hard to imagine the  pain of not being able to feed your family, or going to school on an  empty stomach. But the reality is more than 1 in 4 people is at risk of  hunger in Silicon Valley.
