    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.

    What Second Harvest of South Georgia Funds

    Food security and hunger relief are the clearest themes in the grant list. In 2025, Second Harvest of South Georgia Inc gave $1,254,015 to Feeding America in Chicago, and it also supported Thomas County Food Bank and Outreach Center Inc in Thomasville with $695,130 and $434,877, showing both national-network and local-channel support. Community pantry and church-based distribution sites are another major area. Coffee County Food Bank in Douglas received $1,159,581 and $903,948 in 2025, while Cornerstone Church of God of Prophecy in Douglas received $480,881 and $468,224. The foundation also supported Harvest of Hope Food Pantry Inc in Americus with $507,706. The data also shows direct support for specific local partners that serve nearby counties. Fountain of Faith in Lakeland appears with $882,243, $818,934, and $739,472 across the recent grants list, indicating repeated investment in a single community distribution point.

    How Second Harvest of South Georgia Gives

    Typical grants cluster in the low five-figure to mid-five-figure range: p25 is $12,702, median is $27,792, and p75 is $68,031. At the same time, the recent-grants list includes much larger internal and partner-network allocations, which indicates a wide spread between routine awards and major operating support. The recipient list shows repeat funding over multiple years for several organizations, including the foundation itself and several local food pantries and community-care groups. Giving is local in scope, with 95% of grants going to recipients in Georgia. The foundation is a non-individual funder and does not make program-related investments. One active program, Food Bank Distribution, accepts unsolicited applications; the other active programs listed do not.
