Get Help
Are you, your family, neighbor, or coworker in need of food? At Second Harvest, our goal is to provide help to every person who is looking for assistance. We connect people with the services they need and make sure that everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
Second Harvest hosts tailgate food distributions across our service area. In need of food? Come to this FREE drive-through program. No IDs or proof of income are required.
Are you Feeling Stuck?
Getting Ahead is part of Second Harvest’s Forward STEPS community learning initiative, which works with participants to examine their past to create a new and better future for themselves and their families. Each week a group of people comes together to determine what keeps them stuck and what they can do to get ahead.
Applications are now open for our free Getting Ahead Program.
COMMUNITY RESOURCES
We at Second Harvest believe that providing help to those in need requires a full community effort. Across our service area there are many organizations that provide a variety of resources to people in need of assistance.
SNAP
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides food assistance to low-and no-income families living in the U.S. that you can spend in most grocery stores and farmers markets.
Affordable Connectivity
The Affordable Connectivity Program is a new federal program that helps low-income households pay for internet service and connected devices like a laptop or tablet.
Food Storage and Preparation
Not sure how best to use the resources you get from a pantry, tailgate, or other initiative? There are lots of resources to help you figure out how to store and prepare food.
