A Summer of Meals and Hope, Thanks to You

Thank you for being part of a community that cares enough to ensure kids and families have access to the food resources needed to have a worry-free, hunger-free summer. Your collective efforts made it possible to fight hunger in remarkable ways this summer.

Celebrating Outstanding Volunteers

At the heart of Second Harvest’s success lies the unwavering commitment of its volunteers. Last year, the Central Florida community witnessed an overwhelming display of generosity, as 42,433 volunteers stepped up to provide 127,486 hours of service for neighbors experiencing hunger. Second Harvest’s volunteers’ dedication and selfless service have touched countless lives.
