America's Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia was established in 1981 as a locally inspired, volunteer-driven non profit food bank. Our community-building organization serves twenty-one counties in southeastern Georgia with the mission of feeding hungry people and strengthening communities. The mission of the food bank is to feed the hungry by distributing nutritious food to non-profit agencies and at risk elderly and youth, to assist in disaster relief, and work towards long term solutions to end the cycle of poverty and hunger. Our statement of purpose is "Utilizing food and education to improve lives and create a hunger-free community".

Santa and Pizza for Kids Cafe Site

On Thursday, Dec. 16th, a number of Second Harvest volunteers, Board Members, and one very special guest paid a visit to the W.W. Law Community Center, one of the 34 Kids Cafe
sites that America's Second Harvest of Coastal GA serves.

More than 74,000 school-aged children are at risk for hunger in our area and more than 21,000 of these children live in Chatham County. America’s Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia has been leading initiatives to reduce childhood hunger since the creation of Kids Cafe® in 1989. Kids Cafe® offers more than 2,000 hot, evening meals for children at-risk for hunger in Chatham and surrounding counties. Each child also receives homework assistance and tutoring to improve academic achievement. Many of these children also participate in cultural enrichment activities or team sports to help build positive social skills.
