Help Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC The Campaign On Monday, June 15, Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC announced the food drive campaign, "Get Fired Up For Food!" to raise an additional 2 million pounds of food throughout its 18 county service area during the 2009-2010 fiscal year to provide more food to our hungry neighbors. The organization’s 415 partner agencies are reporting an average 76% increase in clients coming to them for food assistance. Second Harvest Food Bank secures and distributes about 9 million pounds of food annually to food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, etc., but its warehouse capacity is 13 million pounds. The organization is embarking on a 3-year food drive campaign to reach capacity, starting with fiscal year 2009-2010. As the campaign pacesetter, the City of Winston-Salem reported their food poundage collected during the month of May-- almost 6,000 pounds of food! Lowes Foods, in the midst of the Bag Childhood Hunger food drive in their stores, spoke to the importance of food drives and their involvement with the campaign. Old Salem also discussed their involvement with the campaign, giving children admission discounts for food donations to Second Harvest Food Bank. Second Harvest Food Bank is seeking additional businesses and individuals to get involved throughout 2009-2010 by donating food and/or committing to help work on the campaign in one of the counties in Second Harvest Food Bank’s service area.
