Our Programs
Second Harvest has been a reliable source of food for families in need on the Central Coast since 1972. But our mission goes beyond simply providing food. Second Harvest staff is a leader in food distribution, outreach programs and nutrition education.
Second Harvest is a member of Go for Health! and as such, promotes the 52-10 program for improved awareness of healthy habits in our kids. Click to learn more.
