Second Harvest of the Big Bend is a regional nonprofit in north Florida that coordinates food relief through a network of partner agencies across eleven counties. Through food rescue, distribution, and community engagement, it aims to reduce hunger and support its 135 partner agencies. Donors' contributions translate to meals, with four meals provided for every dollar, and the organization relies heavily on volunteers. It serves a service area with an unmet meal gap of 25 million meals annually, and Leon County reports a food insecurity rate of 20.3 percent. A notable recent development is a June 2026 partnership with the Jefferson County Department of Health to install refrigerated food lockers to improve access to food at convenient times.
