At Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, we’re dedicated to fighting hunger and we’re always looking for partner agencies who share our mission. With limited resources, we have to make certain that the food generously donated to us is distributed to the community by responsible agencies.
All interested agencies must meet our five basic requirements:
- Agency must have a mission to feed the hungry
- Agency must have a 501(c)3
- Agency must have 90 days records of food distribution
- Agency must have adequate storage on agency property
- 3 letters of Personal Recommendations
If your agency meets all five requirements, please submit completed applications and all supporting documentation to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. Due to an overwhelming demand for our services, we have to restrict our window of accepting new applications.
After you fill out your application we will review it and if your agency meets our requirements you will receive an onsite monitoring.
After the passing the monitoring, the Agency will be required to attend Orientation and two ADEPT classes: (1) Safe Staff, (2) Perfect Pantry. Safe Staff training should be completed prior to the distribution of SHFB product and the remaining classes must be completed within six months of membership. Classes are provided on a continual basis.
After all contracts are signed, Agencies will be invited to take part in SHFB’s New Agency Orientation and the membership will be finalized. Once the Agency is accepted as a Partner Agency they will have a monitoring once a year by an Agency Relations Staff Member of the site.
