The 10th Annual Farm to Fork Gala

Celebrating local food, 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.

📊 This year, we’ve seen significant shifts in the needs of our community: a 110% increase in crisis support, a 61% increase in unhoused clients, and a 45% increase in seniors over the age of 75.🌟 Behind every percentage is a person — a neighbor in crisis finding stability, an unhoused client receiving care and dignity, a senior gaining the support they need to age safely.Thanks to your support, we are meeting these growing challenges with compassion, resilience, and hope. Together, we are building a stronger, more caring community.👉 See more in our 2025 Annual Report: communitybridges.org/annual-reports ... See MoreSee Less

🚐 This year, elder and disabled neighbors in our community received more than 109,489 door to door rides, including 51,840 medical rides, and 57,649 shelter rides.🌟 Behind every number is a journey. A senior making it safely to a doctor’s appointment, a ride to shelter that offered comfort and stability, or a trip that kept someone connected to their community. Thanks to your support, our seniors aren’t just getting from place to place. They are staying healthy, safe, and connected. Together, we are driving a stronger, kinder community.👉 See more in our 2025 Annual Report: communitybridges.org/annual-reports ... See MoreSee Less
