This effort raised $6,990 in donations, which provided 23,300 pounds of food. With our 100% matching policy, that impact doubled.
As part of our Impact Program, North Coast Living hosts two annual food drive contests to support our surrounding communities. Summer is often overlooked as a time of food scarcity, yet when schools close and donations slow, the need grows—especially for children and families. To help provide essentials like fresh produce, milk, eggs, and meat, our summer drive focuses on monetary donations. In many ways, it’s our most impactful initiative of the year.
Our property teams and their residents generously responded to this outreach and raised an incredible $6,990 in donations, which provided 23,300 pounds of food. With North Coast's 100% matching policy, together we delivered 46,600 pounds of food total to families in need. In addition to the 85,892 lbs of food we have donated in previous years, North Coast lands at having donated 132,492 pounds of food to our surrounding communities!
1st place: Kearney Plaza with 24.17 lbs/unit
2nd place: Vilara with 18.81 lbs/unit
3rd place: Barham Villas with 14.54 lbs/unit
North Coast Living's Impact Program began more than a decade ago with a focus on resource efficiency and sustainability, reducing carbon emissions and water usage across our properties. By 2019, we expanded this vision to include social impact initiatives such as community gardens, educational programs, and volunteer opportunities for our teams and residents.
Food drives are one of the many ways we put this commitment into action—ensuring our properties are not only places to live, but also platforms for creating stronger, healthier communities.
We are immensely proud of our residents and team members whose generosity and dedication make this possible. Together, we’re proving that collective action creates meaningful change.
