Your support, as a caring and committed member of our community, is invaluable. With your help, Second Harvest Food Bank distributed enough food for 82 million meals last year.

Each meal represents more than just sustenance. It's an opportunity to improve health, restore hope, and inspire change.

Food empowers hardworking individuals to overcome unexpected emergencies. It fuels students to excel in the classroom and beyond. It enables seniors to live active and full lives. It is the foundation for adults to train and pursue new careers.

This is the power of what food makes possible. Read more about how you help your neighbors thrive.

The need in your community remains high. Your continued support is crucial for Central Florida families to access the nutritious food they need today and hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Thank you, again, for making such a meaningful impact.

Gratefully,

Derrick Chubbs
President & CEO
