Our Wish List of current needs
Staff at Second Harvest gets regular requests for a “wish list” or suggested items most needed by the food bank. This prompted us to develop a year-long list of Food Drive themes and holidays for organizations interested in having a good time while helping to fight hunger. For more ideas, visit Earth Calendar.
Every month, we need cooking oil and salt, diapers, soap and toothpaste.
Backpack Buddies - a Child-to-Child Food Drive Program
In some parts of our service territory, there are children who may not have access to nutritious meals from lunchtime on Friday until they return to school or their summer activity and have breakfast on Monday. Backpack buddies seeks to fill that gap by providing easy-to-prepare, kid-friendly food for the weekend.
MyPyramid.gov Donation suggestions
The USDA recently revealed its new food guidance system: MyPyramid. MyPyramid helps people choose a personalized combination of foods for a healthy diet. (for more information: www.MyPyramid.gov)
For low-income people, limited food choices make it difficult to eat right. You can help by collecting highly nutritious food for distribution through Second Harvest’s network of food pantries.
