Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County

Brucato Amaro Is About to Open a Distillery, Restaurant, and Bar in the Mission District | Eater SF

"The local food bank is being impacted by a freeze in federal funding that leaves hundreds of thousands of dollars at risk and no clarity on why or when the money will return. Lookout reports that another $360,000 from the Local Food Purchase Assistance Program — an initiative that allows the food bank to purchase food from local farmers — could disappear as well. “The [funding] gap equates to more than 3 million meals,” the outlet writes. Now the nonprofit is asking locals to help fundraise; the same fate has befallen other West Coast food purveyors, including a custard shop in Portland." - Paolo Bicchieri
