Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania is the largest nonprofit food distribution organization in northwest Pennsylvania and the only food bank in the region. Second Harvest solicits, receives, inventories, stores and distributes millions of pounds of grocery products each year through an anti-hunger network of 399 member agencies and distribution partners that serve people facing hard times in our 11-county service area. Second Harvest distributes grocery products through food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters and other charities. We also partner with other organizations to operate School Pantries, BackPack programs, Produce Express distributions, Military Share distributions and Senior Box programs. A total of 91,490 individuals in northwest Pennsylvania, including nearly 28,500 children under the age of 18, are without reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food.  Recipients who receive food free of charge include unemployed and underemployed workers, the homeless, senior citizens, individuals with disabilities, families in crisis situations and children. In our most recent fiscal year, Second Harvest's anti-hunger network distributed 9.6 million meals. The efforts of Second Harvest would not be possible without the generous support from individuals throughout the community. Every contribution makes an impact because each dollar donated enables us to provide 6 meals to our neighbors in need.
