Fighting Hunger on the Front Lines this Summer  

Every child should have access to the nutritious food they need. Yet, food insecurity affects 1 in 6 kids in Central Florida, impacting their physical and mental health and development.  

This problem intensifies over the summer.

Help, Get Help with Food this Summer in Central Florida  

Hunger doesn’t take a summer break, nor does the need for good nutrition. That’s why Second Harvest and its supporters and partners are working to ensure kids, families and seniors have the food they need to thrive this summer.  

Volunteering Can Improve Mental Health 

Giving back to your community by volunteering not only positively impacts your neighbors; it also benefits your physical and mental health.   

Volunteering can help improve your mental wellbeing by adding movement, a sense of community and purpose.

2026 Hurricane Season Preparation is Under Way 

As hurricane season approaches, the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida is focused on being prepared to feed Central Floridians in the wake of a storm.  

Before disasters occur, Second Harvest collaborates closely with national, state and local partners to ensure that food, water and essential supplies are prepared and available for deployment at a moment’s notice.
One of those partners is the global healthcare company Abbott, which recently combined forces with Second Harvest and Feeding America to prepare for the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season.
