Tis the season for Giving!
Valley Churches United (VCU) is one of 63 nonprofits participating in this year’s Santa Cruz Gives. VCU serves a region of the County that is chronically underserved. This past year, with the huge increase of food costs, we are experiencing more new clients in need of food than in the past seven years. We hope to raise enough funds to provide at least 15,000 pounds of food for our grateful clients.
