Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC

Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC is the regional food bank and Feeding America affiliate for 18 counties in Northwest North Carolina, from Boone to Burlington, north to the Virginia line and south to Davie and Davidson. Working with our community and partners, we strive to increase food security and create pathways that build a stronger region, toward a vision of food secure and healthy communities. We believe that access to food is a right – the foundation each of us needs to live our best life and for our communities to thrive. EVERYONE DESERVES TO EAT.

Supporting our region’s food assistance network is the core of our work at Second Harvest. We partner with farmers, food manufacturers, retail grocers, and the community (food drives) to serve as the primary source of food for a network of nearly 500 local food assistance programs (pantries, community kitchens, shelters, and meals programs for children and seniors) serving communities across Northwest North Carolina. Surrounding these efforts is our work to address food insecurity at the root, including workforce development, partnerships with health systems and schools, nutrition education, public policy advocacy, and more.
