America's Second Harvest of the Big Bend, Inc.

We continue that today through our Second Helpings Program, but have continued to expand our services as we work to feed the hungry. In 1986 we joined America's Second Harvest â€“ the Nationâ€™s Food Bank Network, now called Feeding America, which enabled us to obtain and distribute non-perishable donations. Feeding America is the network of 203 food banks in the country that each have a defined service area. Feeding America solicits donations from national manufacturers and companies, such as Kelloggâ€™s, ConAgra, and Kraft, but also works on national public awareness and advocacy issues.
