Hello,
Right now, our Central Coast faces a critical task:
we must strengthen our own community resilience and adaptation because our larger government, health, environmental, and economic systems are increasingly unpredictable.
At Santa Barbara County Food Action Network (SBCFAN), we know that when food is produced and purchased locally, our entire community benefits. Farmers, ranchers, and fisherfolk keep their livelihoods, we reduce transportation-caused pollution, and local dollars stay in our community.
But this shift cannot wait. The challenges of climate change, rising costs, poor health, and inequitable access to food are already here. Our community needs action now.
That’s why we’re asking you to join us as a monthly donor.
Your consistent support helps us:
- locally connect the food system from production to consumption,
- produce food and grow economic security and personal safety by supporting local food entrepreneurs, and
- Ensure that more of our food dollars stay here at home
A monthly gift of $10, $25, or $50 fuels the urgent transition toward local food production and consumption—making sure our community is prepared for whatever comes next.
Together, we can ensure that Santa Barbara County’s food future is both economically strong and food secure—driven by the people who live, work, and produce here.
With urgency and gratitude,
Shakira
