2018 DISNEY WINE & DINE HALF MARATHON WEEKEND

THE SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK OF CENTRAL FLORIDA

Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida (SHFBCF) secures and distributes donated food and grocery items to approximately 550 local nonprofit feeding programs throughout Central Florida and is a member of Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization.

Thanks to help from food and financial donors, volunteers and a caring, committed network, the food bank distributed 52 million meals to partner programs such as food pantries, soup kitchens, women's shelters, senior centers, day care centers and Kids’ Cafes last year. The Central Florida community turns to Second Harvest's partner agencies more than 71,000 times per week.

The Walt Disney World Wine & Dine Half Marathon helps create awareness of Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida and raise much-needed funds to support the growth of its mission. For every $1.00 contributed to Second Harvest, up to $9.00 worth of groceries can be distributed for people in need.
