BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP
We're Stonger Together
Second Harvest values the dedicated efforts of our partner programs to provide nutritional support to children, families, seniors, and others in their local communities. We want to help.
Together, we can provide the food assistance that neighbors need today, as we address root causes of food insecurity in our communities through raising awareness, collaborating, and advocating.
Stewardship
Partnering with Second Harvest saves local food assistance programs millions of dollars each year.
Variety
Partner programs have access to a wide variety of quality food items donated by the retail grocery industry.
Capacity Building
Second Harvest offers annual grants and on-going training opportunities for partners, as well as support for your program's advocacy efforts.
Rural Delivery
Partner agencies located more remote regions of our service area may be able to utilize our Rural Delivery Program.
