Hunger is a severe domestic issue but a solvable one. Individual members of the community can make a difference in the lives of many.

Make a Donation
Monetary gifts are always needed (no gift is too small). For every dollar donated, the Second Harvest Food Bank can recover $53 worth of food to be distributed to nonprofits in North Florida.

Check and credit card donations can be made by filling out our printable donation card and mailing it to us.

We also accept credit card donations on-line via NetworkforGood.org . NetworkforGood.org is an easy-to-use, one-stop secure online resource designed to help people find giving opportunities in their own communities and beyond.

Gifts of vehicles, coolers, shelving and other items are also appreciated.

Sponsor or Support Food Drives
Donate food and grocery products. Participate in or organize a Food Drive at your place of employment, faith organization, or civic group. For more information, contact revriley@lssjax.org

Volunteers are the heart and soul of LSS. You can make a significant difference in the lives of thousands in Northeast Florida.

LSS Second Harvest Food Bank values the time and efforts of all volunteers and staff. To ensure that everyone's time is used most productively, please schedule your volunteer hours ahead of time by calling pcolley@lssjax.org. Due to the nature of a warehouse, we ask that all volunteers by middle-school aged and older. All volunteers under the age of 16 need to be accompanied by an adult.

General Hours of Volunteer Operation are: Monday - Thursday, 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m., and the Second Saturday of each month, 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Imagine There's no Hunger

Yoko Ono has kindly authorized the use of the John Lennon self-portrait image to help the Florida Association of Food Banks in their ongoing fight to end hunger in the state of Florida. The "Imagine" specialty license plate is available at all Florida Tag Offices.

As of April 2007, 12,560 "Imagine" specialty license plates have been issued/renewed, raising $314,000.00 to fund programs to end hunger in this state.

Use YOUR imagination - JOIN the Imagine Nation…and HELP! MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

In the past decade, Florida’s population has grown 19.5% while the number of people in poverty has grown 43%. Many of Florida’s children go to bed hungry at night. The $25.00 fee goes directly to the Florida Association of Food Banks for programs directed at ending hunger in Florida.

The Lutheran Social Services Second Harvest Food Bank is a member of the Florida Association of Food Banks.
