For many years, Second Harvest Food Bank provided food to partner feeding programs in Brevard County through the Brevard Community Food Bank—which operated as a program of Catholic Charities.
In 2000, Catholic Charities decided to get out of the food banking business as a program, and offered SHFB a chance to take over the operation when they left. With the support of the local United Way, the Catholic Charities program transitioned over to SHFB’s Brevard Branch in July, 2000.
For ten years, the new Branch has served 80 Brevard County feeding programs, and has increased food distribution by 390%.
