Community Food Sharing Association

Since our partnership with Second Harvest, we've been able to rescue hundreds of thousands of pounds of food. The impact of the food that we recover is absolutely amazing. We have a lot more people having to turn to food banks that are simply not able to make ends meet at the end of the month ... And we want to always let those people know that we're not here to judge. We just want to make sure that you have what you need to be able to feed your families.

Thrive

As hunger has significant impact on an individual's physical, mental and cognitive well-being, to provide ample and nourishing food to our participants has greatly improved both our ability to support individuals and the overall atmosphere at Thrive. We are thoroughly grateful for this partnership for providing us with such an irreplaceable resource!
