The Santa Cruz Warriors hope to further drive awareness to this program while supporting Santa Cruz County families in need. Launched in December 2020 with the Golden State Warriors, Kaiser Permanente and The Athletes’ Corner, Swishes for Dishes is an initiative designed to address food insecurity issues throughout the Bay Area. Since the initiative began during the 2020-21 season, the Santa Cruz Warriors have donated a total of 162,020 meals to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Cruz County. “We’re grateful to be able to donate over 58,000 meals to Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Cruz County as part of our ongoing commitment to reduce food insecurity in our communities.” “The Santa Cruz Warriors were excited to host the Swishes for Dishes initiative for a third consecutive season,” said Santa Cruz Warriors President Chris Murphy. During the 2022-23 NBA G League Regular Season, 10 meals were donated per point the Warriors scored. With a goal of 50,000 meals, the Sea Dubs surpassed that target and scored 5,843 points throughout the season, totaling 58,430 meals for the Santa Cruz community. In the program’s third year, the Santa Cruz Warriors, Kaiser Permanente and The Athletes’ Corner teamed up to donate 58,430 meals to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Cruz County as part of the Swishes for Dishes food insecurity initiative.
