This summer, with your generous help, Second Harvest Food Bank is preparing for two very different kinds of disaster. While we hope that tropical storms and hurricanes stay offshore, we are ready to respond if the moment of need should arise.
Meanwhile, a more devastating and catastrophic disaster faces far too many of our neighbors, especially kids. One in five Central Florida kids is at risk of going to bed hungry tonight. The daily disaster of summer hunger plagues low-income families with an immediate grocery bill hike. With school cafeterias closed, breakfasts and lunches at home can add up quickly. As a result, too many families trade nutritious foods for more affordable empty calories that growing bodies don’t need. Together we are helping close the meal gap through our feeding partner network, mobile food distributions, and summer feeding program.
Your steadfast support of our mission of hope makes it possible to fight hunger on so many different fronts. It allows us to continue innovating as we work to provide more food, job skills, and hope. Together we’re closing the gap, and that means so much to so many people.
Your steadfast support makes a difference.
Thank you!
