Second Harvest is the regional nonprofit committed to hunger-relief. Working together with a vast network to acquire, gather, and distribute nutritious food, Second Harvest helps feed tens of thousands of people throughout Crawford, Erie, Huron, and Lorain counties.
Connecting Our Community to Healthy Food
We realize hunger is not a choice. It affects every community in the four counties we serve. Working with our network of over 130 partner charities and 10+ school districts, including food pantries, hot meal programs, emergency shelters, mobile pantries, senior food delivery and after-school programs, we are meeting people where they are. For every $1 donated, we can provide 6 meals to those in need.
Mission Statement
Grow hope in our region by creating pathways to nutritious food.

A brighter future for all by cultivating a healthy, hunger-free community.

Person-Centered
The people we serve are at the heart of everything we do.
Forward Thinking
We will meet people where they are. How can we innovate or partner to improve access?
Grit and Perseverance
We realize that change is constant. We will dig into hard problems and pivot when something isn’t working. But we will press forward.
Authentic
Trying new ways of doing things is a means of growth. We will ask questions, look at data and adjust for best outcomes, yet remain true to our core ideals.
