Being on a team helping solve the hunger in our community is huge for me. Growing up, I was one of the silent suffers of not having enough. Most of the people that really need second harvest; we would never even guess. Being a part of a mission to help even just a little bit means the world!

By doing so they not only provide meals but also hope.”

Second Harvest isn’t just a food bank—it’s a lifeline for so many, and I’m grateful to play a small part in their mission.”
