What We Do
We are the largest charitable anti-hunger network in South Louisiana. Our mission is to end hunger by providing food access, advocacy, education, and disaster response.
Join us.
Food Distribution
With warehouses in New Orleans and Lafayette, Second Harvest distributes 39+ million pounds of food and groceries a year.
Mobile and School Pantries
A mobile pantry is a traveling food truck that brings fresh produce and other perishable foods directly to people living in places where such resources are scarce.
Summer Feeding and Kids Cafe
Our after-school Kids Cafe and Summer Feeding programs offer hot meals and healthy snacks when school meals are not available.
Senior Cafe
For many in our community hunger is a terrifying possibility and an awful reality – and it hits seniors hardest. Senior Cafe prepares and distributes freshly made meals daily to senior centers.
Backpack Program
Designed to reduce childhood hunger by bridging the gap between the school day and the weekend or school holiday.
