JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Second Harvest North Florida has a new tool in the battle against hunger, thanks to a generous donation by Winn-Dixie Stores. The Jacksonville-based grocer donated a 50-foot refrigerated semi-trailer on Wednesday, Sept. 5. The trailer was loaded with approximately 13,000 pounds of food to help restock the food bank’s warehouse, which is experiencing a depleted inventory as the summer months wane.
The 22nd Annual Jacksonville FOODFIGHT once again made its mark on the fight against hunger – raising more than $92,000, or the equivalent of 644,000 meals for people in need, when it was held on June 7 at the home of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
More than 1,200 attendees enjoyed samplings from 65 of the First Coast’s finest restaurants, caterers and beverage wholesalers at the Touchdown Club East, spending three hours at Jacksonville’s biggest party of the year. A silent auction, live entertainment and exciting motorcycle raffle rounded out the evening.
Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., and the Jacksonville Jaguars launched the 17th annual food drive to benefit Second Harvest North Florida on Tuesday, Sept. 27. The local grocer and NFL team are calling upon First Coast residents to donate nonperishable items at Winn-Dixie stores in North Florida until November 8. To kick off the food drive, Winn-Dixie donated a truck loaded with 37,500 pounds of food at a fall festival with special appearances by Jaguars players, The ROAR cheerleaders and Jaxson De Ville.
