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.

For more than 100 years combined, Meals on Wheels for Santa Cruz County and Grey Bears have delivered more than just food—we’ve delivered hope, dignity, and connection to tens of thousands of older adults in Santa Cruz County.Today, we’re facing one of our greatest challenges yet. As demand for meals among local seniors rises, critical federal programs like CalFresh (SNAP) and the National Senior Nutrition Program (NSIP) have been severely cut. These safety nets are lifelines for local older adults who are already forced to choose between groceries, rent, and medication.When food support disappears, the ripple effects hit our entire community—impacting health care, housing, and transportation systems—and make local programs like Meals on Wheels and Grey Bears all the more essential. 💛 You can make a difference.Your support helps bring food—and hope—straight to the doorstep of someone who truly needs it.📍 Donate today:Community Bridges ➡️ communitybridges.org/donateGrey Bears ➡️ greybears.org/ways-to-give📖 Learn how we’re banding together at the table for local seniors:🔗 bit.ly/4kJi3ag Together, we can ensure no senior is forgotten.Together, we can feed hope.#MealsOnWheels #GreyBears #CommunityBridges #FeedHope #TogetherAtTheTable #SantaCruzCares@ ...
