Second Harvest of Silicon Valley is a nonprofit food relief organization based in San Jose, California. Founded in 1974, it operates as one of the nation’s largest food banks, distributing nutritious food through a network of nearly 400 partner organizations at more than 900 sites across Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. Beyond food distribution, the organization connects individuals to federal nutrition programs and advocates on hunger-related policy at local, state, and national levels. It serves residents in the two counties through centers such as the Bing Center in San Carlos and the Curtner and Cypress Centers in San Jose. The region’s high cost of living and inflation contribute to substantial need, with about one in six people relying on its services each month. In 2025, the organization received city approval to develop a modern headquarters and warehouse in San Jose, signaling expansion of its physical footprint.
