2024 Video Contest

Calling all creators! You are invited to create a video promoting our 2024 Holiday Food & Fund Drive

Students 13 years of age and older of Santa Cruz County:
This is your chance to be creative and show your support for your community and Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County. Gather some friends and create a 15–25 second video that could be featured on our social media platforms.

What is the Holiday Food & Fund Drive:
Help Second Harvest Food Bank Santa Cruz County continue to fill the gap and feed hope by providing healthy food throughout current challenges and beyond. 100% of the funds raised during Holiday Food & Fund Drive goes to providing food to distribute at our 130 partner agency and program locations. Second Harvest Food Bank has the ability to provide 3 healthy meals for $1. We hope you can be a part of the action this year. Be a Hunger Hero and help us get the word out!

The Rules:
Encourage Santa Cruz County residents to donate to Second Harvest Food Bank during the Holiday Food & Fund Drive to support our neighbors in need. Use dance, song, friends, food, whatever you feel is a creative way to engage our community.
