Supporting Local Food Banks in San Jose, Silicon Valley & the Central Coast
Giving back to the communities we serve has always been important to me.
Coldwell Banker Realty offices throughout Silicon Valley, Santa Cruz County and the Monterey Bay area came together for an online food bank drive supporting organizations working to address hunger and food insecurity in our local communities.
The original campaign ran from February 14–28 and encouraged monetary donations to food banks and community organizations serving children, adults and households throughout the region.
Although that particular Coldwell Banker campaign has ended, many of these organizations continue their work year-round.
