Join us for the 10th Annual Farm to Fork Gala

Celebrating 10 years of local food, fine wine, and community impact.

Saturday, June 28, 2025 from 5pm to 9pm

Seascape Golf Club, 610 Clubhouse Dr, Aptos

The 10th Annual Farm to Fork Gala marks a decade of celebrating Community Bridges’ mission to deliver essential services and resources across Santa Cruz County and the Monterey Bay Area. Your support raises vital funds that directly impact the lives of more than 20,000 local children, families, and older adults.
 
This special milestone event brings together supporters for an elegant evening of sunset sea breezes, a locally sourced seasonal gourmet menu, fine regional wines, and a vibrant live and silent auction featuring exclusive excursions, and live music—all in the company of fellow community champions.
 
A lot can happen in 10 years—and the past decade at Community Bridges is living proof. Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we have expanded our impact in ways once unimaginable. From securing a permanent home in downtown Watsonville to establishing a Lift Line bus yard and building a state-of-the-art facility for Elderday, our growth has strengthened our ability to serve.
 
Your generosity has powered every step forward, helping us navigate fires, floods, pandemics, and economic downturns while expanding critical services like mental health counseling, eviction defense, and emergency response.
 
In the last decade, together we have delivered nearly two million meals to seniors, provided hundreds of thousands of accessible rides, supported tens of thousands of families, and distributed nearly one million bags of food to those facing hunger.
 
Join us in celebrating these incredible achievements at our 10th Annual Farm to Fork Gala on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at Seascape Golf Club in Aptos. Sponsorship opportunities are available, and auction items are another great way for your business to support. Contact donations@cbridges.org or call 831-688-8840 ext. 205.
🌟 Thank You, MCR Food Pantry Volunteers! 🌟Every Thursday morning, our incredible volunteers at Mountain Community Resources show up with heart and hustle—making sure our neighbors have access to fresh, healthy food. Over the past year, more than 600 community members came through our pantry doors, and thanks to these amazing folks, we were able to distribute over 9,000 bags of food. 💪🍎🥕To show our appreciation during Volunteer Month, we treated our team to a well-deserved pizza party—courtesy of Justin Acton and Boulder Creek Pizza & Pub—and gifted them some Community Bridges swag. Just a small token of our huge gratitude.From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all you do. Our community is stronger, healthier, and more connected because of you. ❤️#VolunteerMonth #ThankYouVolunteers #CommunityBridges #MountainCommunityResources #FoodPantryHeroes ... See MoreSee Less
