Who We Are

The Santa Cruz County Youth Resource Bank (YRB) is a non-profit (501c 3), all-volunteer organization working with professionals in our community (social workers, teachers, and public health nurses) to meet the needs of vulnerable children and youth in Santa Cruz County. Since it’s incorporation in 1988, YRB has provided funding and items such as backpacks, sports equipment, school supplies, clothing, and so much more.

YRB believes that small things can make a big difference in the life of a child.

THANK YOU TO THE SANTA CRUZ GIVES CAMPAIGN

We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who supported Youth Resource Bank through the Santa Cruz Gives campaign.

Your generous financial support helps advance YRB’s mission to solicit, collect, and connect community donations and resources to meet the needs of vulnerable children and youth who have fallen through the cracks of traditional systems of support in Santa Cruz County.

Because of you, this vital work continues. Thank you for being part of a community that gives local and lifts-up the vulnerable children of Santa Cruz County.

The Power of Community! The Power of You!

With gratitude,
Santa Cruz County Youth Resource Bank
