In the wake of Hurricane Helene, Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina is urgently mobilizing resources to provide immediate relief to families devastated by this historic storm. Ten counties in our service area are facing severe impacts from flooding and power outages, including extensive damage to several of our local food assistance partners' facilities. The road to recovery will be long, and Second Harvest Food Bank, Feeding the Carolinas, and our partners will be there to help ensure our neighbors have the sustenance they need to navigate the challenges that lie ahead. Your financial support is crucial; every dollar you donate allows us to rapidly procure and distribute essential food, water, and supplies to meet the urgent needs of families. 

Any donations to Second Harvest around disaster response will be directed to local response efforts in the 18 counties across Northwest NC.

Every day, Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC supplies food and provides services to a network of more than 500 on-the-ground programs as they respond to the need in their local communities. Your support of Second Harvest’s virtual food drives makes these on-going emergency response efforts, as well as our network’s natural disaster response efforts, possible. Each time you participate, you entrust Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC to direct your gifts to where they are needed most, including but not limited to, the purchase of food items needed by our partner network members, such as, but not limited to,  the representative items on this website.
