Winn-Dixie and Second Harvest Team Up to Feed Hope during Hunger Action Month
Recently, Winn-Dixie and the Winn-Dixie Gives Foundation teamed up with Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida to bring hope to approximately 500 families in Seminole County for Hunger Action Month. This collaboration provided neighbors with much-needed food and relief from the high cost of living, medications, and other essential bills.
Driving Out Hunger
National Truck Driver Appreciation Week is a time to pause and celebrate professional truck drivers’ commitment to delivering essential resources. The work of Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida’s truck driver team is not just critical, but also deeply impactful. They are the ones who ensure that food donations from retail partners, farmers, and manufacturers reach our neighbors facing hunger, making a significant difference in our community.
Drivers rise early each morning to travel Central Florida streets and highways, driving hundreds of thousands of miles annually.
Three Cheers for Volunteers!
Each year, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida honors and celebrates individual, corporate, and special event volunteers. In addition, several volunteers received notable accolades.
