Every can, box and bag of food helps to feed hungry people in our community! At Second Harvest Food Bank, we rely on the generosity of many donors for the food we distribute, including community food drives conducted by individuals and organizations; donations through our national organization - America’s Second Harvest -- The Nation's Food Bank Network; the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services USDA Commodity Program; a State Nutrition Assistance grant; local food manufacturers, distributors, processors and farmers; local grocery stores and their Reclamation Centers; a Community Garden; and local restaurants, caterers and food service organizations.
Donating food is a simple and meaningful way to help feed hungry people in our community. Individuals may drop off food donations at our warehouse Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Click here for directions.
A food drive is a rewarding project for any size organization or group to undertake, offering a great team building opportunity in addition to providing nutritious, shelf-stable products for our partner agencies serving those in need. Check out these tools to help you organize a successful food drive effort.
We are also pleased to accept donations of Green Points which enable us to purchase shelf-stable staple foods.
Surplus food donations received from food industry donors (local food manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, local grocery stores and their reclamation centers-damaged salvage product) are the cornerstone of our food distribution program. If you represent an organization in the food industry, we invite you to learn more about how we might work together here.
