Fighting Hunger to Honor Heritage  

During Hispanic Heritage Month, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida elevates stories of collaboration, hope, love of food and the power of community.  The collective actions and voices of partners, volunteers and advocates connected to the food bank make a difference in serving neighbors facing hunger. 

Individual Actions Combine to Make Big Impact for Neighbors

Hunger Action Month brings awareness to the many ways individuals in Central Florida can take small actions that make a significant difference in the fight against hunger.

The community that supports Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida is full of people who find ways to fight hunger and feed hope throughout the year.

These are the stories of just a few of the people taking action to support the 1 in 7 Central Florida neighbors facing hunger.

My Company is Taking Action

Hunger Action Month inspires individuals and groups to find simple and creative ways to take action to fight hunger. During the month of September and throughout the year, companies and organizations can get involved and make a difference on behalf of their neighbors, and they do. 

Battle Bros Events and Macy’s Millenia are just two examples of corporate partners engaging their team members and the community to raise funds, elevate awareness, and get hands-on by volunteering.

Hunger Relief – and the Everyday Heroes Who Make It Happen

42,000 volunteers. 127,000 hours of community service. Tens of millions of meals. Often, the conversation about food insecurity is couched in grim statistics … but in honor of Hunger Action Month this September, I want to celebrate the bright side of the fight against hunger—and that starts, as it always has, with people.
