I’m Maria Shanley, and I’m standing with Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida because hunger does not take a summer break. I’ve seen how long school vacations can mean empty lunchboxes and stressed parents who stretch every dollar to keep their families fed. I want to help make sure kids, families, and seniors in our community have reliable access to nutritious food all season long.

Second Harvest’s work creates hope and nourishes lives through a powerful hunger relief network. Their team partners with schools, meal programs, and local agencies to reach people where they are, multiply community generosity, and deliver food that supports good health. When donors step up, the impact is real: children get meals to fuel learning and play, parents breathe easier, and seniors keep their dignity and strength.

I’m raising funds because every donation helps Second Harvest keep shelves stocked and programs running through the summer and beyond. Your gift will go directly to putting nourishing food into hands and homes across Central Florida, and will help build a stronger, more caring community for all of us.

Please join me in supporting Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. Give today to help ensure nobody in our community goes hungry this summer.
