Help "Stock the Shelves" for Hunger Action Month

The need for donations this year is greater than ever due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. A recent national survey conducted by Feeding America estimates that one in six Central Floridians may struggle with hunger this year an anticipated 49% increase.

In honor of Hunger Action Month, we're asking the community to help "Stock the Shelves" this September.

The month-long effort encourages Central Floridians to take action in the fight against hunger.

Join us by getting involved in at-home and socially distanced activities, such as:

• Donate 30 non-perishable food items representing each day of the month
• Wear orange on Sept. 10 for Hunger Action Day
• Donate $30 for 30 days of hunger
• Donate your Buy One, Get One (BOGO) deals after shopping
• Sign-up to volunteer
• Dine or shop at local establishments, such as Black Rooster Taqueria, Action Gator Tire and Kendra Scott on select days; a portion of each sale will be donated to Second Harvest
• Sign up to run with Team Second Harvest in Disney's virtual Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend
• Register to vote and help decide the future of crucial programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

More ways to get involved will be posted on our Facebook page throughout the month. We encourage participants to share how they're helping “Stock the Shelves” on social media by using #StockTheShelves.

"Now, more than ever, the community should come together to help those in need stock their shelves,” said Dave Krepcho, president and CEO of Second Harvest. "With every donation we receive, we are able to help our network of more than 550 feeding partners serve 66,000 people each day across six counties. Every canned good, every volunteer and every awareness effort makes a difference."
