Summary Explanation and Background:
Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida is the region's largest emergency food provider. Second Harvest collects, stores and distributes donated food to a network of local nonprofit feeding partners in seven Central Florida counties, including more than 90 locations in Brevard County. Food distribution happens at local food pantries, soup kitchens, women’s shelters, senior centers and Kids Cafe after school programs. One in 7 Central Floridians and one in 6 kids are experiencing hunger. Second Harvest distributes enough food for 300,000 meals a day across the seven-county service area. Second Harvest has operated in Brevard County since 2000 and, recently, invested in an expansion with a 23,000 square foot warehouse in Melbourne.
