September is Hunger Action Month - our annual campaign designed to inspire action and raise awareness of food insecurity in East TN.

If you want to make a contribution to Hunger Action Month '25, simply make a gift by placing 1 or more items in your shopping cart and click "Checkout".  Alternatively, you could quickly make a gift amount of $5 or more by clicking the "Donate" button on this page.

Want your own page to help support Hunger Action Month?  Consider joining this team by creating your own virtual food drive (click "Join Team" on this page and register as a new or returning participant).  Doing so will enable you to have your own URL page to share with friends, family and colleagues.

Right now more than 213,000 of our neighbors are facing food insecurity and putting food on the table is a daily challenge — but together, we can make a difference.

You can help by filling a virtual shopping cart with our most needed food items, providing critical nourishment to individuals and families across our 18-county service area.

Help today:

• Choose one or more items from the virtual shopping cart below OR

• Click the “Donate” button to make a quick and easy gift

Just $50 can feed a family for 2 weeks.

A Virtual Food Drive allows you to purchase food for your food bank from whereever you are!  Thanks to partnerships we've developed and connections with wholesale distributors, when you give to Second Harvest Food Bank, your dollar stretches much farther!  Second Harvest's efficiencies are such that $0.953 of every dollar is spent directly on hunger relief programs for children, seniors and families in our community.  Your gift stays right here in East Tennessee to provide meals and hope for our neighbors.

Every dollar and every effort brings us closer to closing the hunger gap. Let’s come together to ensure our neighbors have full plates and hearts throughout East Tennessee today – and every day.

Because it’s more than a meal, it’s hope.
