We are most grateful to receive donations from different companies through Second Harvest. This definitely increases our food distribution to the community.

Second Harvest has been essential in connecting us to local grocery stores. These grocery stores have allowed us to include bread and baked goods as well as some non-perishable items consistently to the people and families in need that we serve. We are very grateful for this program.
