Extensive warehouse space equipped for large-scale food storage (including refrigeration and freezer units), multiple loading docks for efficient logistics, and dedicated areas for thousands of volunteers to sort and pack food.

Work Culture:

The work culture is highly mission-driven, collaborative, and community-focused. There's a strong emphasis on teamwork, compassion, and efficiency to maximize impact. Volunteers are integral to the daily operations and culture.

HQ Significance:

The San Jose headquarters is vital for coordinating the collection, storage, and distribution of millions of pounds of food annually to a vast network of partner agencies throughout Santa Clara County, directly impacting food security in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Location:

Second Harvest of Silicon Valley's direct operational focus is hyper-local, serving Santa Clara and San Mateo counties in California. They do not have international offices or global operational functions. However, they are part of the Feeding America network, a nationwide network of over 200 food banks in the United States. Through this affiliation, they contribute to and benefit from national anti-hunger advocacy, best practices in food banking, and large-scale food sourcing partnerships. Their impact, while local, is part of a larger national and, by extension, global movement to alleviate hunger.
