30 Ways in 30 Days
2010 Hunger Action Month
September marks the third annual Hunger Action Month, an opportunity to place a spotlight on the issue of domestic hunger while creating opportunities for people on the First Coast and abroad to participate in the ongoing battle against it.
The effort is sponsored by Feeding America, the national association of food banks of which Second Harvest is a member, to raise awareness for the fight against hunger - and to show people just how big a contribution they can make simply through awareness of the cause.

Second Harvest North Florida will have multiple opportunities for people to engage in the effort locally. More information is listed below:

Donate/Volunteer
Did you know that for every $1 donated, Second Harvest North Florida is able to generate six meals for people in need – or two full days of meals for a person who is hungry? No gift is too small, and every gift makes a profound difference in the lives of those among us who are facing critical needs.
Donate to Second Harvest North Florida
