About Second Harvest Food Pantry, Orlando Florida
The Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida is a private, non-profit organization that serves more than 550 feeding partners located in six Central Florida counties. Their motto is fight hunger, feeding hope; and this is exactly what they do. Last year, volunteers, donors, and a caring community distributed more than 56 million meals to struggling families, seniors, kids, veterans, and others. Statistics conclude that 1 in 6 people in Central Florida are food insecure and that approximately 498,000 people turn to Second Harvest food pantries to feed themselves and their families. According to Second Harvest Food Bank, every $10 contributed provides forty meals for those in need.
Mike Hachtman, President, Relogistics Services stated, “We are fortunate enough to run businesses in the state of Florida, and more specifically in the Orlando area. Supporting the residents of the area and families who need a helping hand is a critical component of our framework and something we feel extremely passionate about.”
“While hunger in Central Florida remains a daunting challenge, we are able to keep closing the gap of need with generous support like the recent gift from Relogistics,” said Dave Krepcho, President & CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. “We are proud to be able multiply the gift up to nine times in terms of the dollar value of food being provided for our neighbors in need,” he added. The financial gift from Relogistics will allow Second Harvest to distribute approximately $90,000 worth of groceries to those in need.
