What Our Harvest Recipients Have to Say

"We are grateful for the partnership we have bridged with the Food Donation Connection (FDC). Through the efforts of FDC, we are being connected to participating food venues to provide additional nutritional resources for our East Side Cafe. Last year [2015] we served 41,551 meals to homeless men, women and children. We serve meals three times a day Monday through Saturday and twice on Sunday all year around and having access to the variety of meals donated by the venues makes a monumental impact on the number of guests we can serve. Thank you for assisting us in providing food to the hungry."

"Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida – Mission: To Fight Hunger in Central Florida. “We deeply appreciate the collaborative spirit and “can do’” attitude of FDC’s team. They are a strong partner in alleviating hunger and at the same time reducing so much waste. Their partnership is especially appreciated because our most recent Hunger Study showed that we are serving more people than ever in our history; a 152% increase since a couple of years ago. We cannot do this work alone.”

Yum Brands helps City Harvest feed some of the more than one million New Yorkers who turn to emergency food programs each year.

"Smoky Mountain Area Rescue Ministries – Serving the Smoky Mountain Area
The Smoky Mountain Area Rescue Ministries is blessed to have several Darden restaurants providing food for our "Hot Meals for Hungry Hearts". The restaurants that participate in the Harvest Program allow local agencies to use excess prepared food, or un-served meals to feed the less fortunate. SMARM is a local Ministry in the Sevier County area that serves people in need. Currently, we are serving an evening meal at three different locations weekly. Thousands of meals are served each year to families, who have stated many times that "this has been our best meal each week". On their behalf, please accept our thanks and appreciation for being recipients of your excess food to serve those in need.”
