In honor of Hunger Action Month, the generous folks at R&H Gemberling and L&P Miller Memorial Foundation are matching your gift of hope today, up to $10,000. Will you make a gift that will go twice as far for those who need it most?
For people like Arlene. She lost her job at a local jewelry store when it closed due to the pandemic. Her financial security rapidly disappeared.
“The pandemic changed many lives, including mine, but I had to stay positive,” she explains.
One Sunday morning her pastor mentioned a food distribution. With her mortgage payment due very soon, Arlene accepted help with food so she could use her savings to keep her home. She continued visiting food distributions until her job reopened, thankful for never having to make the choice between housing or food.
“I knew about Second Harvest before the pandemic and would donate excess food for others. I never thought I would be helped… what a tremendous blessing,” she says.
“The last year and a half has been difficult but I think the worst is behind me. Thank you for helping me through that dark time.”

Through your support, 250,000 meals are distributed daily to children, families, and seniors experiencing hunger in Central Florida. Many of those receiving help are like Arlene and have never sought food assistance before.
As our community continues to heal, your neighbors facing hunger need your help as much now as they did one year ago. Will you consider providing 2x the meals with a gift of hope today?
Thank you for making a difference for thousands of individuals like Arlene during these difficult times.
