Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina's July 2021 - June 2022 Funds for Food Drive Supporting our neighbors in need across 24 counties in North and South Carolina
Did You know?
In addition to providing food to over 950 non-profit partner agencies, SHMETROLINA directly serves our hungry neighbors. 13.8% of our service area population, over 512,000 people, live in poverty including over 168,000 children and over 50,000 seniors.
We are so grateful for your interest in hosting a Fund Drive!
Funds are our greatest need and a wonderful way to multiply your giving! We are able to provide 7 pounds of food into the community for every $1 donated! Funds enable us to purchase products by the pallet - securing much-needed items at great pricing – and help keep our refrigerated trucks on the road picking up and distributing fresh produce, dairy and meats to our partner agencies.
How to get started
You can collect funds (cash or check) at your location, or use this platform to host an online Fund Drive. The online platform allows donors to pay with debit or credit card and issues a receipt directly to the donor upon completion of the donation.
If you would like to host an online Fund Drive, simply select “Join or Start a Team” (recommended for a company or large group drive) or “Start an Individual Fundraiser” to begin setting up your page. Once registered, you will have the ability to customize your fundraising page and share it via email and social media with the simple click of a button.
If you have any questions, please contact our Food & Fund Drive Coordinator, Celia Farmer, at cfarmer@secondharvest.org or 704-805-1750.
We greatly appreciate your support and look forward to working with you soon!
