During the holidays and every day, Second Harvest is deserving of our support.
Donate foods.
The Food Bank needs nutritious, non-perishable foods:
Meals in a can (stew, chili, soup)
Tuna and canned meat
Peanut butter
Canned foods with pop-top lids
Low-sugar cereals
100% fruit juices in single serving boxes
Canned fruit packed in juice
Canned vegetables (low salt)
The Food Bank needs nutritious, non-perishable, single-serving foods for use in programs for children.
Pop-Top Tuna
100% Fruit Rolls
Raisins
Graham Crackers
Unsweetened Applesauce
Cheese and Crackers
Fruit Cups
Low-sugar Cereal Bowls
Pretzels
100% Fruit Juice Boxes
Granola Bars (without peanuts)
Please avoid donating items packaged in glass. If you have glass items in your donation, please package them in protective boxes to prevent breakage.
We request that you do not donate bulk quantities of rice, flour, or sugar. Although we appreciate and can utilize every donation we receive, the Food Bank does not have the repackaging facilities needed to properly distribute such items.
Donate funds
95¢ of every $1 donated goes directly toward programs that feed hungry people.
Donate Items
Besides food, funds, and time, Second Harvest welcomes other donations that help to defray general business and operational costs. Donating items means donated dollars can purchase more food to feed our neighbors in need!
Examples of item donations:
Technology (computer hardware and software)
Vehicles
Appliances
Shipping and packing supplies
Office and break room supplies
Janitorial supplies
Vehicle, warehouse, and maintenance equipment
Let us know if you would like to join us in volunteering next time!

Other sources of food include the general public in the form of food drives and government programs that buy and distribute excess farm products mostly to help support higher commodity prices. Food banks can also buy food either at market prices or from wholesalers and retailers at discounted prices, often at cost.
