Food that we receive through Second Harvest has a really significant impact on the community. Without it, we wouldn't be able to do what we do. It really is the backbone of our programs.
We provide monthly grocery vouchers through our prenatal and early childhood programs for children aged 6 and under. We also do traditional meat and fish distribution twice or more per year. Any outside assistance such as the Second Harvest program helps our vulnerable population with food stability.
Through Second Harvest, you get a lot of fresh produce. We have been able to get lots of baby formula, which is really important. Baby food as well. We're getting a lot of snack foods because some of the moms who are here also have children who would be in school ... They can come here and they don't have to go home with empty shelves. The impact is fantastic and we're really thankful for Second Harvest.
