A Celebration of Local Community

Community Bridges Farm to Fork Gala Dinner will be hosted at Sesnon House on Saturday, July 16, 2022 from 4pm to 8pm featuring local wines and beers, live auction and a locally-sourced gourmet dinner hand crafted by acclaimed Cabrillo College Culinary Arts Program. This event is expected to draw up to 200 local supporters for a lively outdoor celebration of the vital support that drives our mission. The festivities will continue online to engage additional supporters participating virtually.

Farm to Fork is the only event that celebrates all ten Community Bridges programs that create a vital safety net from infancy to elderly. These programs rely on local community support to deliver essential services. We invite you to support this event that celebrates our community and culture while benefiting programs that enhance the lives of children, families and seniors throughout Santa Cruz County.

Ticket sales for this event are closed. Please consider making a donation. To receive alerts for standby tickets, please contact info@cbridges.org or call 831-251-8184.

A community united can never be divided.We want to acknowledge the dozens of nonprofit and community leaders who signed a letter asking that Gov. Gavin Newsom provide emergency aid to Pajaro Valley residents who have lost so much.Earlier today, the governor officially requested President Joe Biden make FEMA individual assistance available for various California counties impacted by the recent spring storms, including Monterey and Santa Cruz counties. This is excellent news, but more needs to be done.We urge the president to grant this request and for the governor to make state assistance available for Pajaro Valley residents who will not qualify for federal aid because of documentation status.You can continue to advocate for an equitable recovery for the Pajaro Valley here: bit.ly/42DWU9s ...
