Second Harvest of the Big Bend Volunteering

Second Harvest of the Big Bend is a nonprofit charity started in 1982 to address the urgent problem of hunger in the community. Our mission is to feed hungry, food-insecure people in North Florida’s Big Bend region, and to educate and engage the community in the fight to end hunger. The food bank provides healthy food and other needed items for low-income and unemployed people to relieve situations of emergency and distress.

Volunteers are critical to our mission of providing food for today, tomorrow, and a lifetime. Opportunities are available now for individuals, groups, and those seeking community service hours.

The minimum age requirement to volunteer in our active warehouse is 12 years of age. Age restrictions vary by volunteer activity; please check the volunteer calendar. Children between the ages of 12-15 must be accompanied by an adult who is also volunteering and is 18 years of age or older. A minimum of one chaperone per four children is required.
