About Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest Nc
Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC Inc directs large-scale funding to local anti-hunger work across Northwest North Carolina, with recent awards reaching into the multimillion-dollar range. Its largest listed grants went to Greensboro Urban Ministry for feeding the poor and related support in 2024 and 2025, alongside another major award to Out of the Garden Project in Greensboro in 2025. The pattern is consistent with a food bank operating through community partners rather than individuals, using grantmaking to support direct service delivery and basic needs assistance. The grant list also shows repeated support for agencies serving specific communities within the region, including Ashe Food Pantry in West Jefferson, Triad Food Pantry in High Point, The Salvation Army -ws in Winston Salem, and The Hunger & Health Coalition in Boone. Those organizations recur across multiple years, which points to ongoing operating relationships rather than isolated one-time awards. The foundation’s public summary centers on increasing food security and creating pathways that build a stronger Northwest North Carolina, and the grants align with that mission through food distribution, meal programs, and related hunger relief infrastructure.
