1 IN 7 CHILDREN FACES HUNGER
Experience the joy of bringing happiness to children
Please consider joining our team of dedicated volunteer drivers who use our vans to deliver Bite2Go weekend food supplies to schools in Eastern Washington and North Idaho communities.
Thanks to generous support from people like you, Second Harvest provides nearly 10,000 elementary, middle and high school students with food for over the weekend through Bite2Go. Many of these children face chronic food shortages at home and, without Bite2Go, they would not get enough to eat on Saturdays and Sundays during the school year. You can be part of the solution by joining our volunteer driver team.
