COVID-19 update: Second Harvest has made significant operational changes to meet double the need since the pandemic began. To maintain social distancing standards and operate at the highest level of efficiency, we are not accepting community food donations, including food drives and turkeys. You can still help fill this virtual barrel with much needed protein, dairy and more.
