MISSION
We are working to eliminate hunger in Orange County.

STRATEGY STATEMENT
We solicit and coordinate donations, grants, fundraising, food drives, food rescue, gleaning and volunteers to supply food, education and advocacy for the hungry through non-profit partners and direct feeding programs. We constantly seek innovative and cost-effective ways to reach more people.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
Under the guidance of the Council of Orange, Society of St. Vincent de Paul, the Food Bank began providing food for the hungry in October 1983. Since 1983, the Food Bank has provided more than 217 million pounds of donated and surplus food to local charities.

MEMBER AGENCIES
The Food Bank currently serves 390 member charities that reach the hungry, including church pantries, shelters, senior centers, rehabilitation centers, homes for abused women and children and many other emergency assistance organizations.

CLIENTS
In partnership with 390 member charities, the Food Bank helps feed an average of 200,000 individuals each month. Those served include the working poor, children, seniors on fixed incomes, single parents, the disabled, the homeless and individuals experiencing medical emergencies or recent job layoffs.

FOOD SOURCES
The primary work of the Food Bank is acquiring and distributing donated and surplus food. Food sources include local grocery stores and supermarket chains, food manufacturers and distributors, the government, restaurants, trade shows, gleaning efforts, food drives and private individuals. Need food? Email us at agency@FeedOC.org or call toll free 888-449-FOOD(3663). We will need your address in order to direct you to a nearby agency.

EFFICIENCY
Each dollar donated provides about $12 worth of food to the hungry in our community.*

Second Havest Food Bank is a 501[c]3 nonprofit organization. Our Board of Directors, Advisory Board and Event Committee members volunteer their time to serve the needs of Second Harvest and the hungry in Orange County without pay.
