When Cameron, a second grader, got sick and spent a week in the hospital, his parents missed work and lost their paychecks. When they came to pick up his homework, the family engagement coordinator did more than help with schoolwork. She invited them to shop at the school market, a free food pantry on campus supported by Second Harvest.

Every day in Central Florida, people like David visit Second Harvest Food Bank’s partners to get the nutritious food they need.
