About Second Harvest of the Big Bend
SHBB is a member of Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic food relief organization, and one of three Feeding America food banks in Florida designated for disaster/crisis response.
Second Harvest of the Big Bend operates from a 41,000-square-foot facility located in Tallahassee, FL. The facility includes seven shipping docks, 12,000 square feet of freezer and cooler space, and a fleet of vehicles, including box trucks, tractors, trailers, sprinter vans.
Their Feeding America service area is 12,400 square miles and includes 16 counties: Calhoun, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Jackson, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty, Madison, Taylor, Wakulla, Columbia, Dixie, Hamilton, Lafayette, and Suwanee.

Food that is donated comes from national manufacturers, regional farmers, other food banks, wholesalers/distributors, local retailers, food drives, and individual donors. Food is also purchased at a wholesale rate and distributed by USDA Commodities through The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), for which SHBB is contracted with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to distribute to qualifying agencies.
Food collected by Second Harvest is distributed through a network of 135 partner agencies, including other nonprofit charities and local faith-based organizations.
Partner agencies are located throughout the 17-county Big Bend service area, including Calhoun, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Jackson, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty, Madison, Taylor, Wakulla, Columbia, Dixie, Hamilton, Lafayette, and Suwanee.
They deliver to each county at least twice monthly, and partner agencies can pick up additional food at their warehouse.

Emergency Response
As part of the Big Bend COAD (Community Organizations Active in Disasters) which includes the Red Cross, Salvation Army, the Emergency Operations Center, Volunteer Leon, Big Bend 211 and others, Second Harvest provides food, water and other necessities both before and after a crisis or disaster. Second Harvest also works in conjunction with Feeding Florida and its other 11- member food banks to cover disaster situations throughout the entire state of Florida.
During the Coronavirus pandemic, SHBB provided emergency food assistance to an additional 52,000 Big Bend neighbors who were impacted by the ongoing crisis, which increased the food insecurity in their service area by almost 50%.
And, after Hurricane Michael struck our region in 2018, SHBB distributed 1,586,850 pounds in disaster relief that October.
Second Harvest has also assisted with disaster response efforts for Hurricane Hermine, Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Florence, Hurricane Matthew (North & South Carolina), Hurricane Harvey (Texas), the Eastpoint fires, and flooding in southern Louisiana.
