Brown Bag Program

Welcome to California Grey Bears

From a simple act of kindness, California Grey Bears has grown into one of the most efficient food distribution and recycling nonprofits in the country. Over 40 years our Brown Bag Program has delivered 75 million pounds of fresh produce and groceries to thousands of Santa Cruz County seniors. And the need is growing. Every day we work to alleviate food insecurity among seniors. You can make a difference. Please become a member, make a donation or volunteer to help Grey Bears serve seniors, connect generations and recycle resources.
