Company Overview
Our Mission
To feed the hungry in Wisconsin by obtaining food and related products, distributing them to qualified non-profit programs and providing those programs with appropriate assistance. Feeding Wisconsin’s Hungry Second Harvest is a food bank. Through our warehouses in Milwaukee and the Fox Valley, we distribute more than 13 million pounds of food a year to more than 1,100 pantries, meal programs and other nonprofit agencies that serve nearly 235,000 people in the eastern half of Wisconsin. Through our Milwaukee distribution center, we provide more than 11 million pounds of food to nearly 800 nonprofit programs in nine counties. More than 172,000 people depend on food supplied by Second Harvest's Milwaukee warehouse. Through our Fox Valley branch, we provide more than 2 million pounds of food to nearly 300 nonprofit programs in 27 counties. More than 62,000 people depend on food supplied by Second Harvest's Fox Valley distribution center. Second Harvest Food Bank was founded in 1982 by the Rotary Club of Milwaukee. Starting with our first donation of a bushel of apples, we have distributed more than 220 million pounds of food to the hungry in our state! |
