America's Second Harvest - Southeastern Branch
Mission
The Mission of the food bank is to feed the hungry by distributing nutritious food to non-profit agencies and at risk elderly and youth, to assist in disaster relief, and work towards long term solutions to end the cycle of poverty and hunger. Our statement of purpose is "Utilizing food and education to improve lives and create a hunger-free community".
About Us
America's Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia was established in 1981 as a locally inspired, volunteer-driven non profit food bank. Our community-building organization serves twenty-one counties in southeastern Georgia with the mission of feeding hungry people and strengthening communities.
More than 300 non profit organizations in our area work in partnership with the food bank to distribute food to families in need throughout Coastal Georgia. In 2009, our food bank secured and distributed more than 7.1 million pounds of food and grocery products through our programs and our collaboration of partner agencies. The efficiency of our organization in serving as the warehouse and distribution center of food and grocery products is realized in a savings of $10 million wholesale annually by our by member agencies for their feeding programs. The food bank's cost effectiveness sustains our partners' ability to provide shelter, medical supplies, day care, transportation and other necessities for people who are at-risk.
