“I’m really grateful for this opportunity. It’s just helped me so much to step outside of my comfort zone and to let others experience my food my way. I have a mission, and Second Harvest has helped me spread my wings.”

– Daijah, Community Cook

“First of all, I like to help people. I like the friendly atmosphere here. I totally feel a connection. Our people need a lot of help, and I know this feeling, so I can feel that people here also need help with food.”

– Maryna, Volunteer

“I love the Second Harvest pantry, and it helps a lot. The workers are good to get along with and very understanding. And they’re good items that you receive. It makes things a lot easier!”
