Second Harvest of the Big Bend (SHBB) is a nonprofit charity started in 1982 to address the urgent problem of hunger in the community. The food bank’s mission is to meet the short-term nutritional needs of hungry, food insecure people and lead the community in the fight to end hunger.Because people often have to make difficult choices between feeding themselves and their families, and paying for other necessities, no-cost food assistance can lift a big weight from their shoulders. Thanks to Second Harvest, clients can utilize income to pay for other expenses, such as medicines, school expenses for children, rent and utilities. This helps them to save money, increase assets and strengthen resiliency.

At the present time we supply food directly to over 10,000 families per month through our three distribution centers and we reach over 25,000 families each month through our afiliate agencies that we give assistance to.

Feeding America’s Hungry Children was established to provide a transportation link between national food products donors (who have the food surplus) and the independently operated food banks across the country that distribute this life-saving food to those who need it most.
