SANTA CRUZ—Second Harvest Food Bank hosted a drive-thru community food distribution Friday at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.
Supported by numerous volunteers and members of the California National Guard, the distribution unfolded under overcast skies as part of ongoing county-wide distributions that alternate between the Boardwalk and the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds in Watsonville.
Santa Cruz County residents lined up in their vehicles to receive a bag of pantry items and another containing produce along with additional foods.
