Description:
Borderlands Food Bank is a vital factor to the health and well-being of Santa Cruz County, providing fresh nutritious produce to people in need, advocating for the hungry and undertaking the task of eradicating hunger. In Santa Cruz County we have more than 4000 households with over 16,000 individuals registered to receive our produce. We also have more than 280 registered non-profit agencies who receive our product for direct distribution to their clients, calculating another 100,000 individuals. Through a combination of partnerships, we have over 150 non-profit hunger organizations that are available to receive our produce at different times of the year all over the United States. The Food Bank solicits warehouses and distributes approximately 25 to 40 million pounds of produce per season; this product is made up of a variety of 39 different types of vegetables and fruit. The produce is first distributed in Santa Cruz County and second throughout the State of Arizona. Because we have such a large amount, and it is perishable, once we saturate Arizona we proceed to share the produce with food banks around the Nation. We are also fortunate in that we are an international organization and are able to share with our sister State of Sonora, Mexico.
