Second Harvest North Florida Jacksonville, FL 32206 904.353.3663	Details: The mission of Second Harvest North Florida is to distribute food and grocery products to hungry people and to educate the public about the causes and possible solutions to problems of domestic hunger.

And because of our lean staff and the generosity of our volunteers, more of every donation goes directly to our programs â€” not to overhead.
