Second Harvest North Florida fights hunger

every day. More than 450 nonprofits are

dependent on us to provide them with food

for the hungry people they serve – children,

veterans, seniors and the working poor.

As a nonprofit, we are dependent on cash and

food donations, as well as volunteers, to

deliver over 20 million pounds of food to

hundreds of thousands of people in need.

Even that's not enough. We need to reach

40 million pounds to end hunger in our

17-county north Florida region. Won’t

you support us today?

Our warehouse is located at: 1502 Jessie Street, Jacksonville, FL 32206 WeNourishHope.org

We couldn’t do the work we do without the thousands of

volunteers who assist our small staff. Let us develop a

creative way for your service group, corporation or family

to volunteer time and make a personal, powerful

experience for all involved. Visit WeNourishHope.org

or email volunteer@wenourishhope.org to learn more.

Second Harvest also encourages community groups

to get involved by hosting food or fund drives at their

schools, places of business or worship or in their

neighborhoods. Shelf-stable items are important staples

in our ability to provide meals. Second Harvest can

create seven meals from each $1 donated. Learn more

at WeNourishHope.org/onedollar. Second Harvest

takes food donations at the warehouse, Monday through

Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
