Annual Report: Your Impact in Action

You are an essential ingredient in Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida’s hunger-fighting recipe. Your support, as a donor, partner, volunteer or advocate, made it possible to distribute enough food for 82 million meals last year.

Hunger is here to stay, but let’s narrow the gap

Frank and Gloria did everything right. They took their finances seriously – saved money, earned an education, and put their kids through school. But now, retired from their careers as teachers, they find themselves struggling to stretch their income to the end of every month. And they’re not the only ones.

Hunger Relief – and the Everyday Heroes Who Make It Happen

42,000 volunteers. 127,000 hours of community service. Tens of millions of meals. Often, the conversation about food insecurity is couched in grim statistics … but in honor of Hunger Action Month this September, I want to celebrate the bright side of the fight against hunger—and that starts, as it always has, with people.

A Word of Gratitude: Summer 2025

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.
