Fundraiser for the Santa Clara Schools Foundation
The Santa Clara Unified School District owns and operates an organic farm that provides fresh produce to our cafeterias and provides incredible, hands-on opportunities for our students to learn more about biology, chemistry, environmental science, economics, mathematics, literature, and art. It’s an amazing resource, and we’re so grateful for your support of the farm over the years! COVID-19 has forced us to skip our fundraiser dinner this year, but we’ve partnered with District Nutrition Services to provide a three-course meal to go August 18th, prepared using hyper-local, organic ingredients grown on our own farm!
SCUSD serves students in Santa Clara, San Jose, Sunnyvale, and Cupertino, and our friends at Enoteca La Storia have generously donated a case of wine to this fundraiser -- the first fifty orders will be entered into a raffle for one of the bottles (if you want), which will pair nicely with either of the two entrees you choose!

FAQ
How do I pick up my meals?
On August 18th, at the time you designated on the Order Form, go to Wilcox High School and pull up to the curb in front of the cafeteria. A masked Nutrition Services employee will ask your name, check the list, and then bring out your meals in a bag. You don't have to get out of your car. They can put the bag straight into your trunk if you want.
Why can't I pick up my wine at Wilcox?
Alcohol on District property raises all kinds of legal questions. It's far easier for Foundation staff to just drop it off at your place. We'll wear masks and Clorox-wipe the bottles.
Who can I contact with questions about my order or ideas for future fundraisers?
info@santaclaraschoolsfoundation.org or kheller@santaclaraschoolsfoundation.org
I loved my meal so much that I want the recipes!
Glad to hear it! Let us know and we'll see what we can do.
Can I come visit the District farm?
Short answer: probably. But let's talk after COVID19.
I absolutely loved my wine -- where did you get it?
From our friends at Enoteca la Storia -- great wine, great food, great people!
