38th Annual Mountain Affair

A Celebration of San Lorenzo Valley community

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the 38th Annual Mountain Affair on October 20, 2023!

Your generous support raised $20,000 for essential services at Mountain Community Resources for San Lorenzo Valley residents. We can’t thank you enough for your support of this community!

Special thanks to our presenters, Gail Pellerin, 28th District California Assemblymember, and Susan True, CEO of Community Foundation Santa Cruz County. Congratulations to our Green Heart Award winner, Shelley Young, with thanks for her years of volunteer service at MCR’s weekly food pantry.

If you weren’t able to join us this year, you can still help Mountain Community Resources deliver crisis support services, disaster recovery and emergency preparedness resources for neighbors in San Lorenzo Valley― a community that knows the importance of being prepared and staying connected.

Your donation to Mountain Community Resources supports more than 1,400 San Lorenzo Valley residents to access daily shower and laundry facilities, weekly food and clothing distribution, low cost counseling and legal assistance, and much more to support a strong valley community.

🌟 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
