Community Storytelling & Engagement - Second Harvest CCL

Second Harvest Food Bank of Clark, Champaign, and Logan Counties is dedicated to fighting hunger and building hope by providing nutritious food to individuals and families in need. Serving as a regional leader in hunger relief, we distribute millions of pounds of food annually through our network of local pantries, soup kitchens, and community partners. We also operate mobile food pantries to reach underserved areas, ensuring access to fresh, healthy food for those with limited transportation. Since 1981, Second Harvest has worked to address the root causes of food insecurity through innovative programs and community engagement. Beyond food distribution, we educate the community on hunger issues, advocate for policy changes, and partner with local agencies to foster a healthier and more food-secure future. Our initiatives, such as the Senior Food Box Program and the Food Locker Program, are tailored to meet the unique needs of vulnerable populations, including children, seniors, and rural residents. At Second Harvest, we believe that every story matters. Through this program, we aim to amplify the voices of our neighbors and partners, capturing their experiences and creating a deeper connection between our work and the community. By building a robust library of testimonials, videos, and images, we can strengthen our Development efforts, inspire donors, and create lasting change. Together, we can make a tangible impact on hunger and improve health outcomes across Clark, Champaign, and Logan Counties. Join us in making a difference!
