About Second Harvest of South Georgia

Second Harvest of South Georgia Inc’s recent grantmaking is dominated by very large internal food-bank allocations and partner-network support in South Georgia. The single largest award in the data is $17,214,243 in 2025 to Second Harvest of South Georgia Inc in Valdosta, alongside another $9,124,613 grant in the same year. Those awards sit within a broader pattern of funding that supports food rescue, emergency food distribution, and the administrative systems that let local agencies access food through the network. The organization’s grants also reach community-based pantries and church-linked distribution sites. South Street Community Care House in Valdosta received two multiyear awards, including $4,082,809 in 2025 and $3,963,468 in 2023, while Coffee County Food Bank in Douglas and Colquitt County Food and Clothing Bank Inc in Moultrie appear repeatedly among larger recipients. The mix suggests a funder that channels substantial resources into its own food-bank operations while also sustaining partner agencies that distribute food directly to end users at no cost.
