Second Harvest is awesome I went to a food distribution last month I was shocked at all the food i received. I got alot of fresh vegetables like from the farm fresh sorry I'm from Ga they never have things like that ...
I'm grateful for what I receive no.matter where I go but I've never been to anything like this before it was a great experience...

Poorest communication in life for the distribution of food. The website is never updated in a timely manner. Half the time when people are waiting outside in line for food at the designated drop locations the organization doesn't show. Then takes the announcement off the website the same day that people are already there and in line, like that is any better, they couldn't care less for the time, money, gas, and effort spent trying to get people the help they need. It takes two seconds to announce a drop location has been canceled prior to the date instead of sweeping it under the rug like it never occured.

Here we are again. A few times per month, FFWC Family Fellowship Worship Center, comes to the second Harvest Food Bank location downtown Fayetteville, to pick up senior boxes, and up gather other food for our Shepherd's Bread Ministry. We feed nearly 400 hungry family's, that show up at our church every Monday.

This month this food Bank packed 1000 senior boxes for the upcoming month. I was told it is a beehive of volunteeers serving our community.

First normaly they are 5 but they made us park on the side of the road bumper to bumber with no way to leave untill the person in front left so any emergencies that come up in your life you wouldnt be ablt to get to. Then after the food was put on they slammed my electronic door and it doesnt sound right o am goinf to have it looked at and if it is damaged i will be charging second harvest for the repair fees sense it was done on by their volunteer.

You have to run all around town to different locations to get help. They give you a list to go to places. If you have gas like that you don't need food. Like Christmas they gave Fayetteville community college turkey's to give out, it was suppose to start at 9am, they started at 6am by the time I got there which was 9:05am they were turning car around waste of gas and time. Second harvest gives the food to these churches and organizations and they take what they want which is good and give us all the crumbs. One place I went to gave me 2 boxes of walnuts which contained 24 bags to a box and you tell me what is someone to do with all those nuts? Years ago when Second harvest was giving out food, you could have a meal now you get what these organizations don't want for themselves and their family's. Your lucky if you get a piece of meat of any kind. Now I see how these organizations can have fun day, fellowship day, pastor day for free because their living off other's and making it look like a blessing, when giving us what should be ours away. It's a shame what people do to people that really need it. Second harvest needs to do what they did before, their job and stop trusting other organizations to do it for them.

They helped a friend who went on a Friday after 2:45 pm and everything else was closed. They first gave a list of places to call and try. Unfortunately all of them were closed. They told him if they couldn't get help to come back so he did. God bless them please because they helped a family with 2 little kids and just hit a rough patch. Because of the generosity of those wonderful people I am feeling to the need to volunteer at a food bank or somewhere to help as well. Thank you for helping my neighbors and the community.

This is probably one of the best places to volunteer in Fayetteville. They make it easy to become a new volunteer, and their staff are really chatty and welcoming. You’ll definitely never get bored here even if you do end up just making boxes. Be mindful of the heat, and if you’re packing boxes that you’ll be lifting A LOT. There isn’t central AC in the warehouse, just a select number of fans. Dress accordingly and make the best of it.
