Mobile Pantry

The goal of Mobile Pantry is to reach out to churches and organizations that are unable to take advantage of services offered to regular food partners. Any non-profit agency may receive a tractor-trailer load or half load at a minimal distribution fee. The trailer will contain canned food, personal hygiene products, cleaning supplies, and dairy and fresh produce when it is available.

Second Harvest will generally drop the loaded trailer on a Friday at a central location, then pick up the empty trailer on the following Monday. This allows the organization time to unload and distribute the items without time pressure. The delivery fee for a full load of product (12-18,000 pounds) is $500, a half-load (8-10,000 pounds) is $250.

This year we will make 140 Mobile Pantry deliveries to 26 sites in 10 counties, totaling about 1.6 million pounds of food delivered.

If your food pantry is interested in participating in Mobile Pantry, please contact Zane Graves, Vice President of Operations.

Rural Route

Many agency food partners are located in outlying areas. They have limited staff and resources and are unable to pick up food at our warehouse. Second Harvest makes regular, scheduled deliveries to these areas for a maximum distribution fee of $100.

Food partners can place an order by phone or fax. The product is pulled from the shelves and loaded onto one of our trucks for delivery.

This year Rural Route will deliver 1.7 million pounds of food to 12 sites in 8 counties.

If your food pantry is interested in participating in Rural Route, please contact Zane Graves, Vice President of Operations.
