In September of 08, America’s Second Harvest changed its name to Feeding America. Their new name conveys their mission—providing food to Americans living with hunger.

Even though America’s Second Harvest has been fighting hunger for over 30 years, they still were basically unknown by the average American. Their new name, Feeding America is better able to convey their mission. Feeding America says it all. They provide access to food to people who need it. The name communicates positive connotations.

Feeding America is the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity and works through a nationwide network of member food banks in the fight to end hunger.

Each year, the Feeding America network provides food to more than 25 million low-income people facing hunger in the United States, including more than 9 million children nearly 3 million senior citizens.

Feeding America consists of a network of more than 200 food banks serves all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, securing and distributing more than 2.5 billion pounds of food and grocery products annually. Those member food banks support approximately 63,000 local charitable agencies and 70,000 programs, which provide food directly to individuals and families in need.
