Food Donation

Print

Second Harvest seeks to obtain both perishable and nonperishable items in quantities that can be distributed to area food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and other feeding programs for those in need.

 In addition to food, Second Harvest also receives and distributes other needed household products such as diapers, personal hygiene items, detergents and cleaning supplies that cannot be purchased with food stamps.
