Our Story
At Second Harvest Food Bank of Southeast North Carolina, we work tirelessly to fight hunger one day at a time. We serve seven counties in our state, diligently partnering with over 200 nonprofit organizations to distribute food daily to those in need.
Second Harvest Food Bank of Southeast North Carolina was founded in 1984, as a program of Action Pathways, Inc.
Currently, SHFB secures, stores, and distributes more than 10 million pounds of food annually. This food is generously donated by major retailers, local wholesalers and warehouses, other food banks, and through food drives held by individuals, businesses, schools, and civic organizations. Additional food, including fresh produce from small, local farms, is purchased for SHFB programs.
We are certified members of Feeding America– a network of 200 food banks across the country – and Feeding the Carolinas.
Our MISSION is to feed, advocate, educate, and develop partnerships to meet the nutritional needs of our community by way of solicitation and distribution of healthy foods.
Our VISION is to improve access to a sufficient quantity of nutritious food to all in southeast North Carolina.
