Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida is a nonprofit organization that collects, stores, and distributes donated food to more than 625 feeding partners in seven Central Florida counties.
We dry sort food donations, which involves checking donated goods from supermarkets, Amazon returns, and other sources, for damage, quality, and expiration, and repack them for distribution. Second Harvest is exceptionally well-organized, and you can be sure that your volunteer efforts will be utilized well to help reduce food insecurity in the Central Florida area.
