Food for Thought: Second Harvest Food Bank begins its tours in November

With the holiday season just about in full swing, it’s the time of year when many are thinking about giving. This year, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida is inviting the community into the warehouse for an in-person, behind-the-scenes look at its facilities and efforts to help the one in seven Central Floridians who don’t know where their next meal will come from on any given day.

On Wednesday, November 2nd, “Food for Thought” tour participants will get an inside look at the food bank’s active warehouse and distribution center, seeing first-hand how Second Harvest distributes enough food for at least a quarter of a million meals a day. Attendees will also learn about the different programs the nonprofit maintains to help feed those experiencing food insecurity across Orange, Osceola, Lake, Seminole, Volusia and Brevard counties. Anyone interested in the November 2 tour must register by Wednesday, October 26.

Lunch will be offered to tour participants.
