The Second Harvest Food Bank accepts canned goods, perishables, food products
and grocery products. While grocery stores and distribution centers donate much
to the Food Bank, food drives are also an important source of our stock. To
arrange for the pick-up of a food donation, contact Larry Riley at 904.353.FOOD.
The Sharing Place Thrift Store accepts all types of
household items, furniture, office products, knick-knacks and collectibles, and clothing.
