Our Impact

After pilot testing Feed The Valley’s partnership with local restaurants and non-profits in 2020, we were able to more than double our impact in 2021 + 2022 + 2023. We look forward to continuing to grow these efforts, thanks to the generosity of our donors.

Tyler Winery Lunch Series

For the third year (2023), we have had the opportunity to further our Feed the Valley efforts with a Friday benefit lunch series at the beautiful vineyards of Tyler Winery. Thanks to our generous hosts and collaborators, we were able to raise an additional $13,640 over 13 five-course lunches—and we also drank some damn good wine.

This helped us provide 1,364 meals to the Santa Ynez Valley community.


 

Friday Lunch Series with Bell’s at Tyler Winery's Mae Estate

In partnership with the culinary team at Bell's restaurant, we are proud to host our Friday benefit lunch series supporting Feed the Valley. Your ticket will include a five-course prix-fixe, paired with a selection of our single vineyard wines, served on-site at the beautiful Mae Estate Vineyard House in Lompoc, CA. All proceeds will support Feed the Valley's ongoing work to fight food insecurity in the Santa Ynez Valley by employing local, independent restaurant teams to prepare wholesome, nutritious meals for families in-need.

 
 
 

In a December 2023 fundraiser with “Grassini Gives Back 2023”, Feed the Valley was awarded $50,000 from Grassini Family Vineyards!

That’s 5,000 meals for our community. Thank you to all who supported!
