Transforming Abundance into Stability: The Power of Partnerships at Second Harvest – May 24
At Second Harvest, we are deeply committed to leveraging our region’s agricultural abundance to end hunger. Our partnerships with local food processors enable us to transform perishable produce into shelf-stable foods, which are highly desirable for their ease of handling and extended shelf life. These collaborations are vital. Fresh produce, despite its abundance, is perishable and can be challenging to distribute before it spoils. By working with processors, we ensure that more of this nutritious food reaches people in need.
Ag donor spotlight: Reser’s Fine Foods – May 17
With about 90% of the food we distribute being donated, cultivating strong relationships is central to our mission.
Reser’s Fine Foods is just one of those valued relationships, and their generous support has grown significantly over the last few years, donating items like mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese.
“The Reser’s team is not only a strong partner in helping fight hunger,” Mike added. “They are friends.”
Food as Culture – May 10
In addition to being nourishing and life giving, food is also one of the greatest connectors. Food bonds people together. It shares a story in and of itself and then stories are shared, again, when bread is broken together. One of the leading “getting to know you” activities is going out to dinner.
In The Kitchen, we believe in the power of nutrition but know that nourishment goes best hand in hand with community.
