Second Harvest provides food to over 300 partner agencies from the very small to the
very large. Some operate soup kitchens or food pantries. Others include shelters, human
service organizations and nonprofit organizations that serve meals or distribute food
packages. Food is also made available to organizations that serve disaster relief sites.
They all count on Second Harvest as a reliable source of dry food like pasta and cereal,
all manner of canned food, fresh or frozen meats and produce, even sundries like paper
towels and cleaning supplies. Agencies must also meet health standards for storing and
handling the food received. Second Harvest’s staff visits each organization to help
them learn and apply appropriate, cost-effective methods for safe food service handling
and distribution.
Nonprofit agencies and churches that feed hungry people are
encouraged to apply for membership with Second Harvest. Partner agencies must be an
established nonprofit or church with a substantial program for distributing food packages
or serving meals to the ill, infants, or needy.
