WFTV reported that hundreds of volunteers participating in Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida’s 24-hour Hunger Never Sleeps event sorted and packed enough food to provide 111,137 meals. The food bank said the meals would be distributed through community partners in seven Central Florida counties. It also reported distributing enough food for approximately 300,000 meals on a typical day.

Donor relevance

Why this matters
