Established in 1981 in Savannah Georgia, America’s Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia is a locally inspired, volunteer-driven nonprofit food bank and community partnering organization. We work diligently to feed tens of thousands of children, senior citizens, low-income families, and people with disabilities who face hunger by distributing nutritious food to non-profit agencies and partners.

Our programs include Brown Bag for the Elderly, Kids Cafe, Mobile Food Pantry, and our Partner Market Place. These programs are designed to provide hunger relief to those most vulnerable. We partner with 237 faith-based and non-profit agencies to provide emergency food assistance across Coastal Georgia.
