Since the inception of their partnership, Second Harvest Food Bank of central Florida has received more than $1.3 million from Bank of America Central Florida to fight food insecurity, equivalent to over 5.2 million meals in the local area.
Earlier this year, Bank of America announced a $25,000 donation worth 100,000 meals to Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida from the bank’s employee booster campaign. Second Harvest received an additional $50,000 from the bank in late 2022 for its Culinary Training Program.
Second Harvest Food Bank distributes enough food for 300,000 meals each day through its network of 625 community feeding partners. For every $10 donated to Second Harvest, the organization can provide 40 meals to the community.
“We’re extremely grateful to Bank of America for its long-standing partnership in the fight to end hunger here in Central Florida,” said Derrick Chubbs, president and CEO at Second Harvest Food Bank. “As a result of inflation, more and more families do not have the financial independence to make critical decisions and find themselves choosing between paying for housing, utilities, food, medicine, or even an unexpected expense. Bank of America’s contributions help Second Harvest — and its network — to continue feeding hope.”
