To end hunger and improve people’s lives (leading the effort to end hunger and improve lives in Coastal Georgia).
America’s Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia Inc. centers its giving on ending hunger through food banking and direct food access across Coastal Georgia. The largest recent grants on file were two 2025 awards of $23,475,661 each to America’s Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia Support Corporation in Savannah, a sign that the organization’s grantmaking is closely tied to its own operating structure and network. Its active programs show a practical, distribution-focused model: partner agencies receive USDA commodities, fresh produce, dairy, bread, purchased food, and donated product; school pantries get support for students and families; and mobile pantry events bring food into communities. The foundation also pairs food distribution with nutrition education and partner-agency support. That mix points to a funder focused on food security systems as well as immediate relief. Mary Jane Crouch is listed in leadership, and the foundation’s work is place-based within coastal Georgia rather than broad or national.
Food banking is the clearest thread in the foundation’s work. Through the Partner Market Place / Agency Zone, it supplies USDA commodities, GNAP food, fresh produce, dairy, bread, purchased food, and donated product to nonprofit and faith-based agencies serving low-income households across 21 coastal Georgia counties. Child nutrition is another major area: the School Pantry Program supports school-based pantries and partner schools so students and their families can access food at school. Emergency food assistance also appears in the Mobile Food Pantry program, which delivers fresh and nonperishable food into communities through local partnerships. The foundation’s program list also includes nutrition education and training workshops for partner agencies, linking food distribution to guidance on use and access.
The typical grant size is $23,475,661 at the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile, which indicates a highly concentrated grant pattern with very little spread. The recent grants list shows two 2025 grants, both to the same Savannah recipient, suggesting repeat support within the same year and a tightly aligned operating relationship. This is not an individual-giving funder, and it does not make program-related investments. The available data also points to an agency-style structure, with grants tied to the foundation’s own support corporation rather than an open competitive grantmaking model.
