Free Food Fridays
The Grey Bears Healthy Food program feeds Santa Cruz County residents 55 and older who have signed up for weekly food distribution at various locations throughout the county. Tucked under the Boulder Creek Recreation and Parks District 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Boulder Creek has been added to the list of places where leftovers from the program can be safely distributed.
All items are given away for free to anyone and everyone in the community. No proof of income needed. Please come and take what you need.
Donations are accepted but not mandatory.
Every Friday in front of the open lot next to Jenna Sue's Cafe, rain or shine. 3pm - until items are gone.
If raining, food will be given out at Junction Park
A big shout out to the BCRPD volunteers who make this possible each week for the community.
