Second Harvest Food Bank, the largest food distributor on the Central Coast, has been racking up record numbers in the past few months, handing out hundred of thousands of pounds of food to the needy.

But the records are nothing to celebrate.

Unemployment is typically high in the Pajaro Valley because there are no jobs in the strawberry fields this time of year and it is especially bad now as hundreds were laid off when Birds Eye Food Inc. closed in late December."
