Thank you to Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation for the very impactful gift and for sharing in our mission to provide dignified, equitable and consistent access to nutritious food to Orange County. This donation goes directly towards funding our Mobile School Pantry program which offers local families access to farmer’s market-style food distributions conveniently located in their neighborhood and oftentimes at their child’s school! To date, 22.6 million pounds of food have been distributed through this impactful program. #WeFeedOC #SecondHarvestOC #BrightJoy

A big thank you to Senator Tom Umberg and staff for visiting our Distribution Center last week. Senator Umberg represents California's 34th Senate District, which includes most of Santa Ana, Anaheim, Placentia, Fullerton, Buena Park, La Habra, and the west side of Orange. Last year, Second Harvest distributed over 11 million pounds of food to this Senate District alone! Thank you to our elected officials for their partnership and support in our work to end food insecurity in Orange County. #WeFeedOC #SecondHarvestOC

This #HungerActionMonth, Disneyland Resort donated $100,000 to Second Harvest Food Bank. This extraordinary donation shows Disneyland's dedication to raising awareness about food insecurity in Orange County and their continued vital work in our community. “Without the support we receive from generous donors like Disneyland Resort, we couldn’t provide the 35 million pounds of food that we deliver to our Orange County neighbors in need each year," said Claudia Bonilla Keller, CEO of Second Harvest. "Thank you, Disneyland Resort, for helping us work toward our vision of an Orange County with food and nutritional security for all.” #WeFeedOC #HAM #SecondHarvestOC

We’ve been especially thrilled to see several iconic OC landmarks light up orange for #HAM and all 34 Orange County City Councils officially declaring September as Hunger Action Month in their cities. Thank you to all of our community and civic partners for your support! Let’s keep the momentum going as we work together to raise awareness of food and nutritional insecurity here in Orange County.

Yesterday, Second Harvest held its first ever Higher Education Day at the Food Bank as part of #HungerActionMonth. In attendance were several of our College Pantry partner staff, students, and even some college mascots stopped by to show their support! A special thank you to mascots: - Pete the Pirate of Orange Coast College - Peter the Anteater of UC Irvine - Pete the Panther of Chapman University - Samson the Lion of Vanguard University of Southern California The event was held to help bring awareness to the issue of college student hunger here in Orange County and nationwide. School is hard enough – college students shouldn’t have to worry about where their next meal will come from.

Our Distribution Center got a little more orange for #HungerActionMonth when Wild Wing and the Anaheim Ducks volunteered with us earlier this week. We appreciate the support of the Ducks and love when we can "fly" together as we work to end food insecurity in Orange County. #WeFeedOC #SecondHarvestOC #HAM #ducksflytogether

This is the last week of #HungerActionMonth 🧡, and millions of college students nationwide are struggling with food insecurity. With federal financial aid falling short and SNAP eligibility rules in need of reform, many students can't meet their basic needs. Research shows 2 in 5 UC students and 1 in 4 CSU students are food insecure. At Second Harvest, our College Pantry Program partners with 18 campuses to provide students with consistent access to nutritious food, helping them stay in school and succeed. If you’re able, consider becoming a monthly donor to help nourish their futures: https://lnkd.in/g4mapYER Let’s ensure every student gets the nutrition they need to thrive! 🎓🥗 #CollegeStudents #StudentHunger #WeFeedOC #SecondHarvestOC

We were excited to have our Great Park neighbors, Orange County Soccer Club, join in the support for #HungerActionMonth last week. On Thursday, players, staff, and supporters came to volunteer and helped us bag apples in our Distribution Center. Then, at the soccer game in Irvine on Saturday, Second Harvest was honored as part of the club's "Heroes Night," and CEO Claudia Bonilla Keller was recognized on the field at halftime as the Community Champion of the Match. Thank you to OCSC for your partnership and support of the Food Bank! #WeFeedOC #HAM #OrangeCounty #ForCounty
