Now Open: Expanded Brevard Branch

Share

With the generous support of people like you, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida recently opened a new, larger distribution center in Melbourne.

“No one should have to worry or think all the time about when their next meal is going to be or that they’re hungry,” says Keri, a school guidance counselor. Partnering with Second Harvest has been a lifeline for the students and families in her Port St. John community.

With Keri’s sentiment in mind, the new Brevard Branch:

  • Increases capacity to secure and store perishable food and grocery products by 50%
  • Improves warehouse efficiency to support 87 local feeding partners
  • Provides onsite volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups

Because of generous community support, Second Harvest will continue to be a beacon of hope for kids, families and seniors facing hunger in Brevard County.

Your support makes an impact across Central Florida.
