Building Bridges for the South Coast
Puente's annual fundraiser dinner, Building Bridges for the South Coast, brings together community leaders, donors, foundations, and partners who share a commitment to strengthening and uplifting our rural coastal communities. This year's event will highlight both the urgent and ongoing needs facing our South Coast neighbors while celebrating the impact of Puente's programs and services that support families, youth, seniors, farmworkers, and underserved residents across the region.
Guests will enjoy a thoughtfully prepared farm-to-table dinner by Busy Bee's Catering of Santa Cruz, featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local south coast farms: Blue House Farm, Brisa Ranch, Root Down Farm, and Fifth Crow Farm. Set against the beautiful backdrop of TomKat Ranch Educational Foundation, the evening's menu celebrates the bounty of our region while honoring the agricultural community that is at the heart of the South Coast.
Together, we will recognize the power of partnership in expanding access to essential resources, reducing disparities, and creating opportunities for community members to thrive. Through inspiring stories, meaningful connections, and a shared vision for the future, this special evening will demonstrate how collective support can create lasting change.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of community, purpose, exceptional local cuisine, and action as we continue building bridges toward an equitable South Coast for all.
