Second Harvest of the Big Bend is a non-profit charity started in 1982 to address the urgent problem of hunger in the community. Their mission is to feed hungry, food insecure people in North Florida’s Big Bend region, and to educate and engage the community in the fight to end hunger. As the region’s primary source for charitable food, Second Harvest acts as a storage and distribution depot for over 149 front-line agency partners (emergency food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, children’s homes, homes for the mentally disabled, and domestic violence shelters).
