Slug-A-Bug is collecting non-perishable food items at its US 1 location until Nov. 30
Slug-A-Bug is making a difference by supporting the Second Harvest Food Bank, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to deliver life-saving services to families in need.
Brevard County is known for its beaches, vibrant culture and a strong sense of togetherness. Yet, behind the beauty and vitality of this region is a stark reality: food insecurity. Fortunately, the Second Harvest Food Bank is helping combat hunger and provide nourishment to those in need.
The face of hunger in Brevard County
Food insecurity is a nationwide issue and Brevard County is no exception. Many residents, including children and seniors, struggle to access enough nutritious food to lead a healthy life. The face of hunger may not always be visible, but it’s always in the shadows, affecting individuals and families from all walks of life.
A lifeline for the hungry
The Second Harvest Food Bank is a critical component of the fight against hunger in Brevard County. This non-profit organization, affiliated with Feeding America, is dedicated to sourcing, storing and distributing food to local food pantries, soup kitchens, and other community organizations. Their mission is simple but profound: to bridge the gap between surplus food and those who desperately need it.
