Second Harvest Food Bank’s mission is to solicit, store, and distribute food to hunger-relief organizations in Columbiana, Mahoning, and Trumbull Counties; and to provide education and advocacy. We believe that no one should go hungry, and we are dedicated to building a community food pantry that is accessible to all people.
Second Harvest Food Bank’s programs are arranged to reach every demographic in every corner of the Mahoning Valley. If you or someone you know is in need of food assistance, our team will connect you with resources that can help provide the meals you need. Find a free food pantry at a convenient location near you.
Share your time, talents and blessings with Second Harvest Food Bank. Your support makes a difference in the lives of so many in the Mahoning Valley struggling to make ends meet. Every action matters. Working together to end hunger because no one can thrive on an empty stomach. Every action counts.
Donations of food from community members, grocers, food distributors and farmers provide a much-needed supplement to those in need. You can help by donating nonperishable food, fresh produce and more. Whether you hold a food drive, give produce from your garden, or have a large industry donation, giving food is at the core of what we do.
Even a small donation can help a person eat for a day. Your gift will immediately fight hunger in our community. Thanks to our purchasing power through bulk ordering, monetary donations go even further. Monetary donations allow us to purchase food that is needed but not always donated such as meats and fresh produce.
Share your time, talents and blessings with Second Harvest Food Bank. Fighting hunger doesn’t always start with a meal. It starts with those who serve. Volunteers are critical in our efforts to provide healthy, nutritious food to our community whether you’re an individual, group or company.
Since the early 1980s, Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley, originally known as The Food Assistance Warehouse, has been dedicated to alleviating hunger by rescuing surplus food from companies and distributing it to local charities. Established as a 501(c)(3) organization in 1982, it became a certified member of Feeding America in 1994, enabling access to national food donors like Target, Aldi, Meijer, and Walmart. Collaborating with local companies and initiatives such as Harvest for Hunger and Feed our Valley, Second Harvest continues its mission to fight hunger in the Mahoning Valley.
