food drive

The 19th Annual "Stamp Out Hunger" Food Drive, the largest one-day food drive in the United States, is set for Saturday, May 14. Residents are asked to leave nonperishable food donations in bags or boxes by their mailboxes.

More than 350,000 pounds of food was donated to Second Harvest North Florida through the NALC event in 2010 - the event's largest Jacksonville total ever - and the goal is to secure even more pounds in 2010.

Hunger is not isolated to one event, one day or one season. Hunger does not discriminate by race, faith or age; it exists throughout our community, affecting people of all types: employed and unemployed, men, women and children, families and singles.

Help Second Harvest by hosting a food drive at your school, place of work, place of worship, in your neighborhood or with your community organization. Download the forms and information below to get started!
