Traffic at the Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Cruz’s mass food distribution was today twice what it normally is as we head into Thanksgiving.
The food bank hosts weekly mass food distributions at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds in Watsonville and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, but the numbers have significantly increased this month.
Lines of cars backed up onto East Lake Ave. at the fairgrounds, Wednesday. The food bank estimates 2,200 families stopped by to receive food for Thanksgiving, and meals for the rest of the week.
