With your generous help this summer, Second Harvest Food Bank is preparing for two vastly different disasters. While we hope that tropical storms and hurricanes will stay offshore, we are ready to respond if the moment of need should arise.
Meanwhile, a more devastating and catastrophic disaster is unfolding for far too many of our neighbors, especially kids. One in six Central Florida kids is at risk of going to bed hungry tonight. The daily disaster of summer hunger is daunting to families faced with an immediate grocery bill hike. With school cafeterias closed, breakfasts and lunches at home add up quickly.
As a result, too many families trade nutritious foods for more affordable empty calories that growing bodies don’t need. Together, we are helping close the meal gap through a robust feeding partner network, mobile food distributions, and a summer feeding program.
Your steadfast support of our mission is not just a contribution; it’s a lifeline. It makes fighting hunger across seven Central Florida counties possible through food distribution, workforce training and hope.
Your kindness and compassion mean so much to our friends and neighbors.
With gratitude,
Derrick Chubbs
President & CEO
