Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County

That’s a wrap on Product Expo West 2025! ?? ?? 108 incredible volunteers joined us to recover fresh, unopened food and beverages from exhibitors—helping ensure these nutritious items reach our community instead of going to waste! ???? ?? Total pounds of food gleaned: 146,429 We’re beyond grateful for our dedicated volunteers who make this impact possible! Thank you to Natural Products Expo for supporting this food recovery effort! #WeFeedOC #ProductExpoWest #ExpoWest

? "Fresh is always better than frozen." ? That's a MYTH! Frozen fruits & veggies are just as nutritious! ???? They’re picked at peak ripeness and frozen to lock in vitamins, making them a budget-friendly, long-lasting option. Stock up on frozen produce! They last longer, reduce food waste and can be used in smoothies, soups and stir-fries! #NationalNutritionMonth #WeFeedOC #FoodBank #OrangeCounty #FrozenFood #NutritiousFood

It’s time once again to Fight Hunger. Spark Change. ??? Now through March 31, your donations and roundups at the register—in-store at Walmart and Sam's Club and on Walmart.com—plus the purchase of select products from participating brands, help provide more food and resources for those facing food insecurity.

?? Celebrating Partnerships & Milestones! ?? Over the past two weeks, we’ve had incredible moments worth celebrating! ? 2/5: We welcomed Boys & Girls Clubs of Capistrano Valley - Aliso Viejo as our newest partner! Their ribbon-cutting & first distribution were a huge success, bringing fresh, nutritious food to an often-overlooked community in OC. ? 2/12: Families Forward, our long-time partner, officially opened their beautifully redesigned client-choice pantry, empowering families with dignity and choice! A huge thank you to our partners and supporters for making these milestones possible! #WeFeedOC #CommunityImpact #FightingHunger #FoodForAll
