"The new 215,000-square-foot facility will enable Second Harvest, one of the largest food banks in the nation, to unify most of its operations, which currently run out of three locations, under one roof, the food bank stated in an email sent to this news organization. The organization will be able to distribute more nutritious food to more neighbors facing food insecurity, respond swiftly in times of crisis, and ensure the food bank remains a reliable source of support for the community."
"Second Harvest acquired its new headquarters complex after completing $50.2 million worth of purchases in recent years of related land sites, including a $37.2 million acquisition in 2022 and a $13 million deal in June. The food bank's original proposal for the complex envisioned a project of 249,200 square feet. Newly approved plans would produce a headquarters and warehouse of roughly 215,700 square feet 13% less floor space than first proposed."
Second Harvest will build a 215,000-square-foot headquarters, warehouse, and distribution center at 4553 and 4563 North First St. in the Alviso district, slated to open in 2027. The facility will unify most operations that currently run out of three locations, increase distribution of nutritious food, improve crisis response, and provide reliable community support. The food bank acquired the complex after $50.2 million in land purchases, including $37.2 million in 2022 and $13 million in June. The original 249,200-square-foot proposal was reduced to roughly 215,700 square feet, a 13% reduction following a lawsuit by a community group. The project advances the mission to end hunger in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties.
