Adding a bit of play into the usual workday, Food Bank “celebrities” poured wine for tips at the Silicon Valley Capital Club on Wednesday, June 30th. Attendees learned why the Share Your Lunch summer campaign is vital to our fight against childhood hunger. While sharing figures on the increased numbers of children and families served by Food Bank programs, CEO Kathy Jackson encouraged guests to tip generously. “Every $1 donated provides two summer meals for kids when subsidized school lunches aren’t available!”

Current and past Second Harvest board members Dick Svec, Joe Pert, Jon Silverman and Keith Flagler poured wine with Kathy, and in 1.5 hours collected $655 in tips – enough to feed 1,310 kids this summer.
