Have you ever had to decide whether to buy your medicine or groceries? If your paycheck should go towards the rent or food?  If tonight will be a “don’t eat night?” Again.

The over 11,000 people that Second Harvest Community Food Bank nourishes every week know these questions all too well.

But with your partnership we are making a difference. Last year we distributed over 4.6 million pounds of food to our neighbors in 19 counties throughout Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas. We do this through a network of Partner Agencies.

Second Harvest is also leading the way in providing nutritious food to those in need. We are fighting to make a change in the health of our community. There are too many who suffer from diet-related conditions, and too many that can only afford calorie and fat laden foods for themselves and their families. At Second Harvest we know when good food is made available, everyone benefits.

At Second Harvest we understand the importance of advocating to the public about hunger issues. As a member of Feeding America, we are a part of a network of food banks, corporations and friends like you that together bring a voice to the issue of hunger in America to the national level.
