Stories of Hope

Your 2024 Impact

Share

Happy New Year! On behalf of everyone at Second Harvest Food Bank, thank you for your support in 2024.

In a year filled with uncertainty, ranging from severe weather to economic shifts, you were a beacon of hope for your neighbors facing hunger. With your help, Second Harvest Food Bank provided 82 million meals last year for families, kids and seniors in Brevard, Lake, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia County.

Because of you, so much more than meals were provided. Your support:

๐ŸŒ€ Mobilized critical meals and water to neighbors impacted by hurricanes

๐Ÿ Increased access to fresh produce

๐Ÿฅ— Provided nutrition classes to seniors

๐Ÿ“˜ Equipped students in the Culinary Training Program to pursue new careers

The need in your community remains high. Your continued support is crucial for Central Florida families to thrive instead of worrying about their next meal.

Thank you, again, for making such a meaningful impact.

With gratitude,

Derrick Chubbs
President & CEO

Spread hope in 2025.
