Most Needed Items
Second Harvest Foodbank won’t discourage you from purchasing groceries at retail prices for a food drive or cleaning out your pantry and donating food that might otherwise go to waste. But we’d like to emphasize that your contribution will go much further toward ending hunger if you raise funds because every $1 donated can provide three meals.
For every 1.2 pounds of food donated, Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin can provide one meal. Here is a list of the non-perishable food items most needed by our agency partners to assist families and individuals facing hunger:
