A Better Way to Feed Those in Need

Our mission at Feed The Valley is to mobilize independent restaurants as a resource for eliminating food insecurity in the Santa Ynez Valley. For just $10 per meal, we’re able to pay professional cooks to prepare flavorful, healthy cooking that physically and emotionally nourishes the most underserved members of our community.

 
 
 

How it Works

 

You make a tax-deductible donation to Feed The Valley via the Santa Barbara Foundation.

100% of all proceeds
are distributed to our local,
independent restaurant partners.

High-quality, nutrient-dense meals are prepared and distributed to families in need.
