Through Second Harvest, we've actually been able to acquire really strong donations on a weekly basis. Without those donations, we would not be able to do what we're doing ... We know that whenever we get food it is going to go to people in need and that's what we try and do here at Parker Street: give the best we can to the people who need it the most.
Food that we receive through Second Harvest has a really significant impact on the community. Without it, we wouldn't be able to do what we do. It really is the backbone of our programs.
Through Second Harvest, you get a lot of fresh produce. We have been able to get lots of baby formula, which is really important. Baby food as well. We're getting a lot of snack foods because some of the moms who are here also have children who would be in school ... They can come here and they don't have to go home with empty shelves. The impact is fantastic and we're really thankful for Second Harvest.
