Second Harvest Food Bank of Clark, Champaign, and Logan Counties has received a significant boost with a $75,000 grant from Honda. This funding aims to enhance their operations, helping them deliver food to local families in need.
Food insecurity is a growing issue, especially among marginalized groups. This grant comes at a crucial time when many families are struggling to put meals on the table. Jennifer Brunner, the development director at Second Harvest, expressed gratitude for Honda’s commitment to helping the community. She noted that this support will allow them to reach more families, seniors, and children with nutritious food.
The partnership between Honda and Second Harvest emphasizes the importance of both community effort and corporate responsibility in the fight against hunger. Honda has a history of supporting initiatives that promote healthier communities in Ohio.
Currently, Second Harvest serves over 56,000 people each year, distributing nearly 5 million pounds of food through various programs. This kind of support is vital, especially as demand grows while resources remain limited.
A recent report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture indicated that more than 10% of American households experienced food insecurity in 2022. In these challenging times, every contribution matters. Collaborations like this one help to address the pressing needs of the community.
