Stated Purpose:
Fighting hunger, feeding hope: Second Harvest brings community resources together to feed people in need through empowerment, education and partnerships.
Year, State Incorporated:
1972, WA
Also Known As:

Second Harvest was founded in 1971 and incorporated in 1972 as a central warehouse for a handful of emergency food pantries in Spokane. Today, Second Harvest gets food to where it’s needed most in 21 counties in Eastern Washington and five counties in North Idaho – a service territory that spans just over 51,000 square miles. Hunger solution centers in Spokane and Pasco partner with 280 neighborhood food banks, meal sites and other programs to feed more than 55,000 people facing hunger each week.
The donated food that Second Harvest supplies to its hunger-relief network is the equivalent of 80,000 meals per day, which stabilizes households and communities. More than half of the food is fresh produce
and other wholesome perishable products. Second Harvest helps fill nutritional gaps for people in poverty, the working poor, elderly and disabled people on very low fixed incomes, homeless people, and
children and families in crisis.
Second Harvest’s core programs fall under five key initiatives: Feeding Children, Feeding Families, Feeding Seniors, Healthy Eating and Rural Hunger. These initiatives blend nutrition education outreach developed through Second Harvest’s teaching kitchen with other direct service programs and partner agency capacity building. The initiatives framework provides an efficient and effective road map for reaching people at their point of need.
Second Harvest’s Mobile Market free food distributions provide healthy fresh produce and other groceries to some of the most vulnerable people in the region. Second Harvest fills a refrigerated truck with 1,500 to
10,000 pounds of donated fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, meat, bread, cereal and other staples. The Mobile Market visits a church parking lot, school, community center or other venue. Within a
couple of hours, volunteers help distribute the groceries to 50 to 250 families.
The Kitchen at Second Harvest is a program that offers scratch-cooking classes, food budgeting and other nutrition education. These activities take place in Second Harvest’s onsite teaching kitchen in Spokane and also at other locations. This initiative helps move people from hunger to health and self-sufficiency.
Increased child hunger response includes school-based Mobile Market food distributions and Bite2Go weekend food supplies for students in need. Other targeted services include Mobile Market visits to subsidized senior apartments to help low-income elderly people.
