"Will Swim for Food" is an annual fundraiser for Food Banks worldwide. It is a swim around the iconic Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf in the dead-of-winter, making it a one-mile swim in roughly 53° water. (although last year's swim was in 47° water) In previous years money was raised solely for Second Harvest of Santa Cruz, however we now ask our swimmers to designate the foodbank they are swimming for.All money raised by swimmers goes to foodbanks while the funds to put on the swim, and cover administrative expenses, are provided by our sponsors.

"Will Swim for Food" is a 501(c)3 non-profit charity.
