It can be hard to remember a time when computers and the internet weren't a dominant force in our everyday lives — especially living in Silicon Valley, where our community thrives on the promise of new technology and the benefits it can have on the world.

In the era of online banking, instant messaging, and social networking, we here at Second Harvest have been exploring new ways of using virtual tools to feed more people and provide easier ways for everyone to get involved in our mission.
