OUR SERVICE AREA
OUR VISION?
A hunger-free Florida Big Bend.
Second Harvest of the Big Bend is based in Tallahassee, Florida. We provide healthy food for neighbors facing hunger and food insecurity throughout our 16-county Big Bend service area.
As the region's primary source for charitable food, our facility acts as a storage and distribution depot for over 150 smaller frontline agency partners, including emergency food pantries, homeless shelters, schools, churches and community centers.
Our mission is to advance change by feeding the hungry and educating and engaging the community in the fight to end hunger.
OUR IMPACT
The Big Bend is home to
FIVE
of the
TOP 1O
counties in Florida with the HIGHEST RATES OF FOOD INSECURITY.
A staggering
51%
of our neighbors are
WORKING POOR,
living paycheck-to-paycheck at just above the Federal Poverty Level and unable to afford basic living expenses.
In 2023, Second Harvest delivered about
17.5 MILLION
pounds of nutritious food to people in need for no charge.
