They get you in and out pretty fast so they can get to the other trucks. Fast paced place. They'll bring the paperwork out to the truck for you so you don't have to get out of the truck at all. No red or green lights on the deck wall. Place to let your dog is the restroom outside is here.

I volunteered in the warehouse to sort and box food. It was a privilege and pleasure to help. Managers were friendly and well organized. We were able to do a great job.

Daughter needs to constantly do community service for her classes and this is a great place to volunteer hours. The restrictions, depending on the task, is either 10+ with an adult or 16+. We have gone a few times and we always choose to participate in making "covid boxes" where you're in charge of a food item that fits into a box as it passes on a conveyor belt. The shifts are three hours long with a break in the middle and the time passes by quickly. Inside the warehouse, it's clean with wonderful Disney decorations on the walls (believe they are over of the many sponsors of the food bank). I definitely recommend the food bank as a place to volunteer for community service!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Rhonda Glisson | Aug 27, 2018

This facility does not supply individuals with food. It distributes food to various local charities, who in turn distribute to individuals in need. You can call 211 locally to get connected to a charity near you.

2nd Day Harvest is a great information resource. Also, check out 4Roots in Orlando. 10 acre farm and ag center in downtown Orlando. They can give you tips or perhaps volunteer there. If you want corporations and organizations to donate food to you to distribute, you will probably want to seek nonprofit, tax exempt status ~ takes about 18 months. Or you can organize donations from local farmers and organic growers.

Mc G | Aug 27, 2019

Sorry Karen... That's not how a food bank works... The Second Harvest Food Bank supplies food to organizations designed to assist individuals in need, they don't supply individuals. Contact your local Church or Assistance program to apply for free to low cost food and supplies. Have a great holiday.!

They provide food help?

Mc G | Aug 27, 2019

You have to qualify within your economic level to receive assistance through a state provider to receiver a voucher to receive food. Its not like a grocery store, you can't just go there to pick up your food, it is a food bank that collects and collates the food into packages to be distributed on a per need basis only.

I am told that cans of food with expired “Sell-by” dates are still (for the most part) safe to eat. Does anyone have any input on this? Does anyone know who will accept these cans or do I just toss them?

A Google User | Aug 27, 2018
Mc G | Aug 27, 2018

"Sell By" dates can be anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months ( depending on the food products) before the food can actually not be safely eaten.!!!

Hello I missed a month of my EBT because of the hurricane and now I have nothing to be able to get food for Thanksgiving how can I get started with getting food from the food bank and do they provide Thanksgiving food such as turkeys etc.

Maybelline Rodriguez | Aug 27, 2018
Joe Gonzalez | Aug 27, 2018

It is my understanding that EBT paid the extra money for those on your situation. However, if anyone in your household was employed at the time of the disaster and your food got spoiled, google "foodforflorida". There is a government site there where you can claim that money for food only. They provide you with an EBT like card for that purpose, for employed and non qualified for EBT people only. The Second Harvest food bank has all kind of items. You can always go ask the front lobby ladies and they will tell you what to do. I do not know if they provide other pantries or if they provide individual households. But there is nothing wrong by asking. We all need to eat.

Sandra Maldonado | Aug 27, 2018
D G | Aug 27, 2018

I dont believe they give food to the public. I believe they supply food for numerous charities who, in turn, distribute to those in need. But best bet is to call them, even if they just supply a name of someone in your area they distribute too. Also, you can call 211 for help finding assistance.

If you share food how come the lake county food banks run out, or get super low?

Reenie Reen | Aug 27, 2018

The need far outweighs what is donated and collected, sadly there is a huge need and there are not enough donations. I would recommend you go and volunteer so you can see for yourself how much they need to be able to help communities. I've been volunteering for over 10 yrs and I see the wonderful work they do.
