This past holiday season, Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Cruz County sought to raise more than ever in donations, and added a new effort to their long list of drives to boost monetary donations: The Give a Little, Feed a Lot campaign, in which local retailers asked customers to donate a dollar to Second Harvest throughout the month of December. New Leaf Community Markets raised more than any other participating retailer, gathering $4,435 in customer donations, which have since been handed over to Second Harvest. According to the Food Bank, one dollar can feed a family of five—by our calculations, New Leaf customers will feed 22,175 people.
