There
is no membership or annual fee for an agency to affiliate
with Second Harvest. Agencies pay a Shared Maintenance
Fee that averages 4 to 5 cents per pound of food to cover
some of the food bank’s costs to acquire, warehouse and distribute
food. Those fees make up about 7% of the food bank’s support
and revenue. The food bank routinely assists agencies with
financial resources to help them distribute more food.

Agencies
pay no fees on food Second Harvest receives
from community food drives, or
on produce,
baby food, and dairy and bakery products.
