Second Harvest has been an invaluable resource when it comes to food insecurity in our area. [Through our partnership, we have the] impact of being able to provide nutrition to those who cannot feed themselves.
Many, if not most of, our members do experience food insecurity, so they look forward to ‘Grocery Thursdays.’ The healthy food items provided by Second Harvest are very much appreciated, as generally these are the most expensive and unaffordable, but to most of us are basic staples.
Food is a basic requirement of life. The impact of this partnership with Second Harvest has been that we've been able to serve really high quality food on a large scale. For us, serving 1,500 meals a day would become extremely expensive as an organization to keep the caliber of food that we have. And the contribution allows the staff to get creative and make new meals.
