OUR STORY
Feeding Community Since 1982
Feed People, Not Landfills
America has more than enough food to feed everyone. But our abundance is accompanied by tremendous waste. By some estimates, nearly half of the food grown, processed, and transported in the U.S. goes to waste, as millions of Americans struggle to put food on the table.
It was these contrasting realities that led to the innovation of “food banking.” Second Harvest Food Bank’s food sourcing operations have expanded beyond food recovery, though we continue to partner with retail grocers, farmers, food manufacturers, processors, and others to prevent good food from going to waste by instead distributing it to local, food assistance programs.
Moving Food
Every day, we move between 35 and 40 tons of food through our warehouses and out to our network of 515+ partner programs, many of which rely on Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina for the majority of the food they provide. Together, with people like you, we work to make sure that any resident who needs help to feed themselves or their family can access the healthy food they need to live healthy, productive lives.
More Than Food
Supporting access to healthy food for all residents is vitally important to individual and community health, as is our work to address the root causes of food insecurity and poverty. Our work beyond providing food for today includes a nationally-recognized culinary training program, nutrition education, advocating for policies that strengthen families, and convening and collaborating with others to build locally relevant solutions to hunger and poverty.
We are a proud member of Feeding America and Feeding the Carolinas.
