Vision

We envision a Pajaro Valley community in which all people have access to healthy food and the other basic necessities of life. We are committed to working collaboratively to develop a healthier, more food-secure community through direct service and advocacy. Each day we manifest the values of service, compassion and justice in our work. Our vision is a Pajaro Valley community in which all people have access to healthy food and the other basic necessities of life.

Goals

1. 1.With incoming donations, we hope to be able to purchase all food for our lunch program, allowing us to direct our supply of produce from the Santa Cruz Food Bank to the pantry.
2. 2.Our hope is to obtain a Conditional Use Permit from the City of Watsonville, to better accommodate working families by allowing us to expand our pantry hours.
3. 3.We would like to employ a nutritionist to assess the nutritional content of the groceries distributed to guests, and to share this information directly to our community.
