Second Harvest Food Bank

September 2010

Jacksonville, FL., September 25th, 2010 Foundation Financial Group's Sales Division participated in a philanthropic event benefiting Second Harvest Food Bank. Second Harvest Food Bank was established in 1979 as the Nourishment Network food program but became the food bank in 1981. Second Harvest’s two basic components are to rescue surplus food and redistribute it to local nonprofit organizations serving the hungry and providing nutritious meals and healthy snacks to children from low-income families through community-based Kids Cafe sites. Second Harvest is the link between surplus food and agencies serving children, families, individuals and senior citizens in need. The majority of surplus food would be thrown away without this link. In addition to volunteer support, Foundation Financial Group made a significant monetary donation to Second Harvest. Financial contributions from individuals, businesses, and special events Second Harvest to rescue and store donated food for pick up more than 500 nonprofit organizations in 18 counties.
