Toolkit

Each individual and organization that Second Harvest partners with through our work has a unique perspective on the issues of food insecurity at the professional level, and some have personal histories that tie us to this work. Let's elevate the voices  we serve and work towards fair and equitable policies that help end hunger in our communities. Use this toolkit to spread the word on your social media channels.
