About Us

Second Harvest of Greater St. Joseph (Second Harvest), a private, non-profit affiliate of the America's Second Harvest: The Nation's Food Bank Network [Second Harvest], has been serving low-income residents in northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas since 1981.

Second Harvest collects and distributes approximately 3.6 million pounds of food per year (that's 2.7 million meals) through a team of 125 relief agencies in 19 counties; 15 in northwest Missouri and four in northeast Kansas. These agencies include church-sponsored food pantries, meal centers, low-income day-care centers, senior centers, and women's abuse shelters, to name a few.  Over 35 million pounds of food have been distributed to those in need during Second Harvest's 26 years of operations.

In addition to Second Harvest's primary operation of distribution food to relief agencies, the organization also facilitates many programs that distribute nutrition food to the people who need it the most.

Second Harvest serves in 15 counties in northwest Missouri and four counties in northeast Kansas.
