In observance of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Second Harvest wants to elevate the voices and stories of two Asian Americans who fight hunger in different ways but with the same dedication.

Fighting hunger in unique and impactful ways

During May, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida is honoring Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month by sharing stories of collaboration and hope from our community.

Hunger-fighting individuals help support neighbors facing hunger in unique and impactful ways. For instance, Ricky supports fundraising events, Hannah facilitates weekly food distributions, William coordinates with feeding partners and Kim and Allie volunteer. Every action they take, big or small, helps kids, families, and seniors access the food they need to thrive.

Volunteers Make a Difference during AAPI Heritage Month

Volunteers lend their helping hands six days a week at Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. During Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May, many dedicated individuals and volunteer groups work together to make a difference in the fight against hunger.

One organization making a difference is LUNA Interest Group, a multicultural Asian interest group at the University of Central Florida.
