Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida

About

Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida collects and distributes donated food to more than 550 nonprofit partner agencies in six Central Fl counties.

Story

Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida is a private, nonprofit organization that collects, stores and distributes donated food to more than 550 feeding partners in six Central Florida counties: Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia. Last year, with the help of numerous donors, volunteers and a caring, committed community, the food bank distributed 54 million meals to partner programs such as food pantries, soup kitchens, women’s shelters, senior centers, day care centers and Kids Cafes.

In addition to helping feed the line of our neighbors who need help, Second Harvest also transforms dozens of lives directly every year. Economically-challenged adults who graduate from our 14-week culinary training program are placed in ‘better than minimum wage’ jobs that set them and their families on a path to self-sustainability. Yet another important activity helps connect people who are eligible to receive SNAP food assistance benefits with the resources they need to access the program and get help.

Mission

Mission: To create hope and nourish lives through a powerful hunger relief network, while multiplying the generosity of a caring community.

Second Harvest Food Bank has great volunteer opportunities that are perfect for someone just starting with volunteering or the seasoned volunteer. It's a great organization that gives back to the community in so many ways and the volunteer can feel good about being a part of that. Everytime I volunteer there they have a new process in place for the volunteers which makes the task much more efficient. They also host young adults and give them tasks instead of them sitting at home or potentially getting into trouble. A great organization!

What better way than to spend a fine Saturday morning with a strong, well-organized fantastic charity? From labeling canned goods, placing them in boxes, and wrapping them in a not so timely fashioned manner, bagging three thousand servings of sweet potatoes in the limited time we were given, and throwing the not so great ones out, in between the passing of packed and unpacked bags, with our so called assembly line, with the heard laughs, noticed sweat, and mad hustle through the whole process, it was all indeed so very much fun, despite our competitive attitudes during the time being. While this very event passed by much quicker than expected, it was hard to leave and say bye to Andi. Speaking of Andi, there are no words to describe the surprised look on her face when she found out we, the Orlando Yelp Elite team, would love to do this again. However, leaving with gained knowledge from this philanthropic event was everything and more. Valhalla donuts and much needed water were perfect, after what seemed to be an obstacle, but the best one to experience. Leaving feeling like we made a difference in our community was everything and more. Teamwork makes the dream work. So Andi, when is the next field trip to Second Harvest Food Bank??

They should come down on their price for turkeys around Thanksgiving. I'm with a fundraising group at my church and we buy at least 400 turkeys a year. The price is a little exorbitant, but we are able to pick up a large number of turkeys at once. Are quantity is growing again and would be nice if they would come down on their price on such a large quantity.

Amazing to see what this place does! The amount of food they distribute is staggering. For every $10 donated, they can distribute $90 of food thanks to their partnerships. My favorite charity in Central Florida!

I've only volunteered here once (a couple of weeks ago), but definitely look forward to spending more time here! The staff were all very friendly, extremely knowledgeable & very well organized!!
